The Minister of Works, David Umahi has appealed to the people of the Southeast region of the country not to join in the calls for protest against the Tinubu-led administration.
The minister made this appeal on Wednesday, July 17, during the unveiling of President Bola Tinubu's legacy road projects to stakeholders and residents of the state.
Umahi emphasized that President Tinubu is taking significant measures to alleviate the country's hardships and has made difficult decisions for the nation's betterment. "The president is doing everything possible to ameliorate and end the hardship. Let us support him, he is doing everything to unite Nigeria, put food on our tables, and develop the health, education, and other sectors. Pray for him and support him," Umahi stated.
He highlighted the support from governors in the region, confirming that there would be no demonstrations against the President in Ebonyi and the southeast. Umahi pointed out that the southeast has significantly benefited from numerous ongoing road construction projects under President Tinubu's administration, addressing long-standing neglect from previous governments.
"The southeast today under President Tinubu has benefitted from numerous road construction projects ongoing to develop the southeast, which has suffered many years of neglect in previous administrations. So we need to support him," Umahi said.
The Minister also noted a marked improvement in the region's security since President Tinubu took office. "Security has been highly improved in the southeast under President Tinubu. The little security lapses being noticed now are self-inflicted and I commend the governors of the region for what they are doing in this regard," he added.
Umahi called on Nigerians to refrain from making divisive statements, stressing the need for a peaceful atmosphere to foster development. "We should stop fanning the embers of division. We are paying for the past years of neglect and mismanagement. We failed to plan properly in the past and we have to accept our past mistakes and find ways to start correcting them, and this is what the President is doing," he concluded.
