The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has insisted that he does not need to be a presidential candidate to educate Peter Obi. He recently had his say via a viral video days after Obi rejected the minister’s invitation to a public debate on their respective records as former governors.
Declaring that being a presidential candidate is not an achievement, Umahi revealed that he does not have to contest for the presidency to explain the Tinubu administration’s infrastructure projects.
He concluded by accusing Obi of misrepresenting ongoing road projects by visiting construction sites and portraying them as abandoned.
His words, “I’ve told him that I’m on the ballot.
You know, when President Bola Tinubu is on the ballot, I’m on the ballot. Because I don’t want this project to stop. I want it to be completed. So I want all of us together to win with President Bola Tinubu.
I don’t know what is the big deal about being a presidential candidate… So to be a presidential candidate is not an achievement.
So I don’t need to be a presidential candidate to educate you, as a professor in infrastructure, educate you, His Excellency, Peter Obi on infrastructure, as regards to what President Bola Tinubu is doing.
You cannot come to Summit Junction to the old head bridge, and you stood on a point that has been cleared… So you went there and stood. So it’s comedy, you know, it’s comedy, content creation and AI politics.
I’m still ready… unless you are His Excellency Peter Obi, I will not debate with any other person other than him as far as that is concerned.”
