Umahi Defends Tinubu, Criticizes Adebayo's Attacks
Senator David Umahi, the former Governor of Ebonyi State and current Minister of Works, addressed journalists at the Ministry’s headquarters in Abuja, cautioning Prince Adewole Adebayo, the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the 2023 elections, against his ongoing criticisms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Umahi emphasized that political opposition should focus on constructive engagement and verifiable facts rather than personal attacks.
He pointed out Adebayo's lack of executive experience, arguing that leadership involves making difficult decisions for the public good. Umahi defended Tinubu's economic policies and infrastructure initiatives, citing projects like the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and the Second Niger Bridge access roads as evidence of the administration's commitment to national development.
He expressed confidence that Tinubu would win a second term in the upcoming 2027 presidential election, stating his faith in God regarding the President's return to office.
