Minister Umahi Defends Work Amid Senate Clash and Son's Endorsement

Minister Dave Umahi addressed concerns about the quality of the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano road project, stating readiness for independent tests. He faced scrutiny during a budget defense session in the National Assembly, with Senator Peter Nwebonyi (Ebonyi North) and Senator Rufai Sani Hanga (Kano Central) clashing.

Nwebonyi was accused of excessive praise for Umahi, leading to tensions within the APC. Umahi's son endorsed Francis Nwifuru, an APC candidate in the Ebonyi council election.

The political dynamics within the Southeast region were highlighted by these interactions.
