A faction of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has described the inclusion of Senator Dave Umahi as part of President Bola Tinubu’s minister as a strategic move to “inject Igbo ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit into President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda.”
Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the Secretary General of the body, said Umahi would perform better if given the ministry of Works and Transportation.
A statement by Isiguzoro said the inclusion of Unahi indicated that Tinubu valued loyalty, hard work, and dedication to party supremacy.
He noted that the news of Umahi’s nomination as Tinubu’s Minister-designate was met with widespread jubilation in Ebonyi State and across South-East Nigeria.
Isiguzoro also congratulated other minister-designates from the South-East, while urging them to be good ambassadors.
According to Isiguzoro: “Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, congratulates Senator Dave Nweze Umahi on this achievement.
“We view it as evidence that President Tinubu values obedience, loyalty, hard work, and dedication. Umahi’s obedience in withdrawing from the Senate Presidency contest, as advised by the President, is recognized and appreciated by President Tinubu and Ndigbo.
“There are hopes that if given the Ministry of Works, Umahi will bring about transformative changes to Nigeria, similar to what he achieved during his tenure as the Governor of Ebonyi State.
“Ndigbo are optimistic that Umahi’s track records of infrastructural development in Ebonyi State during his tenure as Governor will be replicated on a national scale if he is given the Ministry of Works or Transport.
“Ndigbo emphasize the importance of deploying Umahi’s wealth of experience to address the infrastructural decay in Nigeria.”
