Apex lgbo Socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has warned members house of the representatives to desist from campaign of calumnies against the Minister of Works, Engr David Umahi over the alleged sorry conditions of the nation’s federal roads.

Ohanaaze expressed dismay over the recent unfounded allegations against the works minister by the house of representatives.

A member of the house, representing lbarapa East/ ldo federal constituency of Oyo State, Hon Aderemi Oseni had claimed that Umahi has failed to effectively address the widespread issue of deteriorating roads throughout the nation.

Reacting to the allegations, Ohanaeze’s factional Secretary-General, Okechukwu lsiguzoro, in a statement on Monday, said such assertions are not only misguided but also represent an egregious mischaracterization of the Minister’s diligent efforts in infrastructure development.

The lgbo body stated that it is pertinent to state that these claims, articulated without due diligence or regard for substantive evidence, amount to mere propaganda and irresponsible legislative discourse.

It noted that Hon Oseni’s remarks are reflective of a troubling trend that seeks to undermine the commendable work being undertaken by Engr Umahi.

The statement read in part”Such statements, lacking in factual grounding, not only mislead the public but also distract from the significant progress being made in improving road infrastructure across Nigeria.

“Senator Umahi has inherited an extensive legacy of infrastructural neglect from former administrations, characterized by a plethora of unexecuted road projects and dilapidated roadways.

“Despite these inherited challenges and with the constraints of limited fiscal resources, he has exhibited remarkable resolve and professionalism in addressing the nation’s road woes.

His track record of accomplishment in rehabilitating critical roadways is indicative of his unwavering commitment to the service of the Nigerian people.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo extends an earnest appeal to Hon. Oseni, who represents the Ibarapa/Ido Federal Constituency in Oyo State, to rise above baseless accusations and engage in a constructive dialogue aimed at fostering mutual understanding.

“We implore him to undertake an on-site evaluation of the Minister’s initiatives across the country, an endeavor that would provide him with firsthand insight into the extensive measures being implemented to restore the integrity of Nigeria’s road networks.

“Such a visit would not only enlighten Hon. Oseni but would also serve as a testament to the dedicated efforts that have been prioritized to tackle the nation’s infrastructural challenges.

“It is essential to recognize that Senator Umahi has not been deterred by the barrage of unfounded criticisms or the clamor of discontent.

“His recent undertakings, including the flagging off of the Lagos to Sokoto Super Highway and the Lagos to Calabar Coastal Road projects, are profound indicators of his commitment to delivering on infrastructural promises.

“These projects aim to be completed within specified timeframes, with the first phase of the Lagos to Sokoto Super Highway expected to be concluded before 2027 and substantial components of the Lagos to Calabar Coastal Road targeted for completion by 2025.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo, emphasizes the organization’s gratitude to President Tinubu for retaining Senator Umahi in his critical role as Minister of Works.

“This decision represents a significant step in ensuring that the Southeast and, indeed, the whole of Nigeria benefit from effective governance and robust infrastructural development. Ohanaeze Ndigbo unequivocally stands against any further attempts to undermine Senator Umahi’s integrity or efficacy.

“We reaffirm our stance that such unfounded attacks will not be tolerated.The commitment and professionalism demonstrated by Senator Umahi as a certified and practicing engineer are commendable.

“The Nigerian populace, particularly the Igbo nation, is confident that under his stewardship, the strategic revitalization of roads—not only limited to high-profile projects but encompassing various other critical roadways—will be achieved.

“In light of these sentiments, we call upon the House of Representatives to approach their discussions with a spirit of respect and collaboration.

“The use of proper legislative channels to address grievances is essential; resorting to personal attacks and unwarranted criticism serves only to erode the foundations of constructive engagement.

“We urge all parties involved to focus on tangible solutions and collaborative efforts to further the greater good of the Nigerian populace, rather than indulging in divisive rhetoric.
