David Umahi Praises Tinubu's Infrastructure Efforts in South-East

At a news conference in Abuja, Works Minister David Umahi asserted that President Bola Tinubu's administration has accomplished more for the South-East than any previous government, highlighting the region's inclusion in national infrastructure plans as a historic shift. Umahi acknowledged that while the South-East does not lead in project volume, it is no longer excluded from major national initiatives, citing the Second Niger Bridge and its bypass projects as evidence.

He announced that Tinubu recently approved two new road projects: one connecting the Obanewi-Okiwe axis in Imo State and another linking Otuocha in Anambra to Ibaji. Umahi emphasized the importance of these developments for integrating the South-East into the Federal Government's broader agenda and encouraged residents to strengthen political ties with other regions.

He also dismissed speculation about a rift with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, describing him as a progressive and reaffirming their shared political affiliation despite perceived differences.
