The Minister of Works, David Umahi has shared his thoughts on the reason the Southeast will not protest against President Bola Tinubu’s administration despite the economic hardship in the country.

Umahi asserted that Tinubu has resolved the incessant farmers/herders clashes in the region.

He stated this while addressing newsmen at his Uburu hometown in Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

According to him, the clashes contributed to the insecurity in the area and affected food production, leading to hunger in the land.

The Minister argued that the high cost of living was a ripple effect from the past administrations’ actions and inactions.

He, however, explained that the President has started resolving the situation.

The Minister said Tinubu’s administration has favoured the Southeast greatly through appointments to key positions, including himself, the first Minister of Works from the Southeast.

He said the administration has been doing many projects in the region, adding that with all these, the Southeast has no moral justification to join those protesting against the President over the high cost of living in the land.

Umahi urged residents of the region not to be lured by any group or other regions to join any protest against the President.

According to him, “The present hunger that everybody is talking about didn’t start today. It’s a built-up to a number of factors. Before the past administration and present administration, we had been having a build-up of insecurity. We had farmers/herders clashes over a number of years.

“At a time, I was the Chairman of NEC committee on resolving farmers/herders clashes. So, I went through a number of states, especially the northern states, settling the farmers/herders clashes, and it yielded a number of fruits.

“That problem dealt a huge blow to food production. The issue of kidnapping and the issue of insecurity prevented farmers from going to their farms because here we are talking about hunger.

“And so, you expect the administration of President Tinubu to fix all those things within nine months? It’s not possible. It’s a cumulative effect of the past, like I have mentioned. We should be asking ourselves: how do we solve these problems? That’s what the President has started doing. When something has got to the climax, you don’t expect to resolve it overnight.

“If you check very well, especially in the Southeast, you will know that we no longer have incessant farmers/herders clashes. So, why should we join the protest when the President has solved our major problem? The problem we now have in the Southeast is self-inflicted. That is the issue of unknown but known gunmen.

So, if we are protesting, who are we protesting against? We are protesting against a President that has solved herders/farmers clashes. If you remove the issue of unknown gunmen, the Southeast will be completely safe and farmers can work. So, we can’t go and join anybody to protest.

Anụ mpama!

Kenneth Okonkwo said more than this when he praised Buhari. Today, he is in LP shouting against APC.

When will Ebonyi airport function? Didn't he claim Ebonyi is not part of Biafra? So, how did the insecurity affect farmers in his State? As a matter of fact, he headed the creation of Ebube Agụụ that was praised for ending insecurity in his place. So, Tinubu is the one that ended the insecurity? Then, why was Ebube Agụụ formed and praised? So, you wasted public funds on Ebube Agụụ?

This is classic case of Gaslighting.
Watch how Igbo and Yoruba bigots will commence bickering on this thread like co-wives

Who is he to speak for great igbos meanwhile
Israel is a pure country super power igbos stand with brave

Trying in vain by all means to rope igbos into their economic quandary

The devil want to use the inflation to soil things for dis government

Tinubu has solved Igbo problems while his kings are bn slaughtered like chickens in SW.

Continue misbehaving your eyes go clear las..Las.

Yes oh brother Umahi, Tinubu had done greatly for us in SE and we love him, u can see we're not joining the enemies of state to protest against our beloved president, we even pray he rule for 8yrs or even more, for those complaining about hunger please note that Peter Obi and Nnamdi Kanu are the causes, once Tinubu come back next week he will make $1 equal to N1 and fuel will sell for N87, bag of rice will sell for 8k again...rubbish stew-peed politicians wan spoil person mind this early morning

Foolish man

Umahi is a clown

Meanwhile the people of SW are shouting ebi pawa oooooooooooooooo

Umahi the foolish man should address that.

Umahi was a good governor but has recently turned to a clown. Anything Apc touch, they destroy

Don't know what umahi is talking about because igbo's have been solving their problems themselves since donkeys years.

Gaslighting 101

Whenever they talk stupidly, one thing comes to mind. APC supporters are so stupid and have cordoned all these from Buhari regime till date, giving politicians room to misbehave and talk anyhow.

How did he solve Igbo problems? Did he also solve Nigerian problems? Is it all about the Igbos? Mumu people.

G00dharddick:
Umahi is a clown

Meanwhile the people of SW are shouting ebi pawa oooooooooooooooo

Umahi the foolish man should address that.

Everyone who dares to speak his mind is a clown.
And you wonder why your party has a massive followership in public and yet can't seem to win any major elections.

This man will still talk nonsense about tinubu when he is no more a president I remember how he talk good about buhari now buhari is the problem of tinubu politic is a thirty game

But your family voted for LP. You admitted that you couldn't influence them. So, why should we take your opinion serious after that?

I am reading through your comment for the 3rd time and can't helossking myself, what exactly you have been smoking.
You are getting your brain fried bro.
Take a chill pill

Very useless insensitive nonentity called Dave Umahi.

This was how Rochas Okorocha, Orji Uzo Kalu, Chukwuma Soludo and Co behaved that made them lose the love and support of Igbos while they foolishly got cheered by their enemies who knew they are being foolish by always castigating their region just to be in the good book of Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas that will never support them politically when they eventually come out to vie for Presidency.




Umahi continue.

Don't come and cry tomorrow that Igbos dislike you because you are from Ebonyi state, remember that you used your own useless careless mouth to destroy yourself

Mumu man.
