Minister of Works, David Umahi, has said that the Tinubu administration has treated the South-East zone fairly in terms of infrastructural development.

The minister was reacting to a misleading statement on social media published by one Mr. Linus Anagboso (D-Big Pen) with the caption: “The politics of asphalt: Why is the South East missing from the map?”

Umahi stated that the chosen path by some persons is to deceive unsuspecting members of the public, and close their eyes pretentiously over the infrastructure development Tinubu is doing all over the nation.
In a statement he signed and issued on Monday, the minister noted that the president is using the fair distribution of infrastructure to reunite Nigerians and renew their hope.

Umahi said the Tinubu administration has four legacy projects, and they cover the six geo-political zones, with the South-East region well captured with the Cross River-Ebonyi-Benue-Kogi-Nasarawa-Abuja at ₦445.8 billion.

“This misleading writer chose to change the narrative of my press briefing after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) of the Tran Sahara Section 1 (Ebonyi State to Benue border – 123.64km at ₦445.8 billion, but deliberately chose to call it Oyo-Benue border road to deceive and incite unsuspecting members of the public.

“Where was the writer when President Bola Tinubu decided to treat the South-East fairly in road infrastructure like other regions. Under his administration, 90% of abandoned projects, some awarded as far back as 2013, were revived, and all are now ongoing.

“It is noteworthy to mention that there is huge ongoing work on the 2nd Niger Bridge access road 2A in Delta State, which is valued at ₦146 billion, and 2B in Anambra State, which is valued at ₦176 billion.

“The Enugu-Onitsha Road -208km (MTN tax credit valued at ₦ 202 billion and the CBC completing the remaining section at ₦150 billion, of which ₦45 billion was released last week).

“The Enugu–Port Harcourt Road in four sections: the Enugu-Abakaliki, the Afikpo-Abia-Imo Road, the Onitsha-Owerri-Aba Road, the Aba-Ikot Ekpene Road, the Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene Road.

“I request the South-East people to rise in support of President Tinubu because he has demonstrated unwavering love and fairness to the people of the South-East.

“We must not be deceived again. Mr. President must have the votes of the South-East up to 90% to cement this relationship.

“Enough of darkening counsel without knowledge in the South-East. We must rise to educate our people. If we want to be president, we must avoid the politics of hate, misinformation, and sentiments. We must support other regions, and with God, one day, other regions will support us.

“The president must be supported to complete his tenure of eight years, which all regions are benefiting from. One day, we will be number one, but not in 2027. I will vocally continue to stand against any mischief to deceive our people. We are known for hard work and love, not hate.

“I commend our leaders, who are the South-East governors, for their support and the great works they are doing for our people. I want our people to please support them, along with our dear president, for their second tenure in their respective offices,” the minister said.
