Abati Critiques Umahi's Exclusive Tinubu Posters on Bridge
Reuben Abati, a former presidential aide, criticized the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, for his directive to adorn the First Niger Bridge solely with images of President Bola Tinubu. This order was issued on Wednesday during Umahi's inspection of rehabilitation work on the bridge.
Umahi stated that all illegal advertisements would be removed and replaced with Tinubu's pictures to acknowledge his contributions to the region. However, during an appearance on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’ on Thursday, Abati contended that this approach was discriminatory, especially in light of the upcoming 2027 general elections.
He emphasized that since public funds were utilized for the bridge's rehabilitation, it was only fair that posters of all political candidates be allowed. Abati argued that if any posters were to be displayed, it should not be exclusive to Tinubu, asserting that all candidates should have equal representation.
