- Umahi also disclosed that President Tinubu’s administration is making difficult decisions to restore the country’s lost glory
Minister of Works David Umahi has said that the South-East region of Nigeria would not take part in any protest against President Bola Tinubu.
Umahi said this ahead of the planned nationwide protest in Nigeria over economic hardship
The South East region is home to the Igbo ethnic group in Nigeria.
Umahi also disclosed that President Tinubu’s administration is making difficult decisions to restore the country’s lost glory.
He spoke in Abakaliki on Wednesday during the stakeholders’ engagement meeting on the alignment for the Ebonyi State 101km segment of the 477km Cross River-South East-North Central-Apo Abuja 6-lane superhighway.
He admonished those who are making divisive and incendiary comments in the country to desist from it, as it amounts to a waste of time.
He stated that South-East people are not endangered, and should avoid sit-at-home because of its economic sabotage and self-inflicted injury.
The Works Minister also urged Nigerians to support the legacy projects of Bola Tinubu, explaining that the coastal highway is coming with huge economic benefits that cut across the country.
The high point of the event was the formal unveiling of the third legacy project, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which cuts across Ebonyi, Enugu, Benue, and Abuja
