The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to appoint more ministers with the competence, drive, and performance record of Senator Dave Nweze Umahi, Minister of Works, as the administration marks its second anniversary.
In a statement issued by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Deputy President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the group lauded Senator Umahi’s remarkable achievements in infrastructure delivery, particularly the successful rollout of the first phase of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, describing him as a “hallmark of the Renewed Hope Agenda.”
“Senator Umahi has set a new standard for public service. His work ethic, speed of execution, and commitment to national development are exactly what Nigeria needs more of in government,” the statement noted.
Ohanaeze urged President Tinubu to seize the opportunity of the upcoming June 12 Democracy Day to reshuffle his cabinet and bring in more tested, visionary leaders like Umahi, who can help turn the tide on national challenges.
“If the President expands his team to include more ministers like Umahi and extends a hand of inclusion to the Igbo people through strategic appointments and infrastructure initiatives, he will find in them not just supporters, but committed partners for nation-building,” Isiguzoro said.
