Minister of Works, David Umahi, has slammed the Labour Party and its supporters, majority of whom are followers of the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Umahi spoke while presenting his ministry’s performance at the Ministerial Press Briefing in Abuja on Friday.
The minister while thanking and commending his colleagues in the Ministry of Works said he doesn’t want to be like disobedient members of the Labour Party.
“I don’t want to be disobedient or be a member of Labour Party that are very disobedient, I want to commend my Minister of State, Works. My Permanent Secretary and all the Directors. But greater commendation goes to Mr. President,” he said.
Umahi, earlier in his presentation, lauded President Bola Tinubu for commencing the Sokoto-Badagry road project, which according to him, was an idea that former President Shehu Shagari conceived 47 years ago.
“The good news is the Sokoto-Badagry. This was a dream of the Shagari administration about 47 years back. And it was supposed to be Badagry-Sokoto, but a very detribalised President directed us to change it to Sokoto-Badagry,” he added.
The immediate past governor of Ebonyi state said only a man with great courage and the power of dreams could engage in such a project.
He further praised Tinubu for his performance since he assumed office in May 2023.
