I Don’t Want to Be Disobedient Like LP Members – Umahi Says, Lauds Tinubu For ‘Excellent’ Performance in Office
Minister of Works, David Umahi, has disclosed that he has no intentions of becoming like members of the labour party and her supporters whom he said are disrespectful.
While he presented the absolute jobs his his ministry has done at the Ministerial Press Briefing in Abuja on Friday, the former Ebonyi state governor particularly pointed at Peter Obi supporters for the 2023 presidential election.
In a bid to mock the ‘obidient’ movement, Umahi said most LP members and supporters are rather ‘Disobidient’ stating that he doesn’t want to be like them.
Meanwhile, the minster would commend his colleagues at the ministry of works and gave great commendations to the president Specifically, Umahi lauded Tinubu for the Badagry road project, which he said was an initial idea of former President Shehu Shagari about 47 years ago.
“I don’t want to be disobedient or be a member of Labour Party that are very disobedient, I want to commend my Minister of State, Works. My Permanent Secretary and all the Directors. But greater commendation goes to Mr. President.
“The good news is the Sokoto-Badagry. This was a dream of the Shagari administration about 47 years back. And it was supposed to be Badagry-Sokoto, but a very detribalised President directed us to change it to Sokoto-Badagry,” he said.
While he wouldn’t stop praising Tinubu, Umahi noted that the president has performed excellently well since he assumed office in May 2023. He noted that only a man with great courage and the power of dreams would do what Tinubu is doing.
