Both.... Each of them had their own interest/agenda for taking the other position. So I think they both knew what they were getting into

They both made the right choice in the interest of the party and self interest.

Umahi for self and party interest:
Another election to that senatorial seat occupied by Umahi will be won buy APC in Ebonyi. @least 80%assurance. It is a win win for APC and Umahi.

As for Lalong, if he remained a minister and another by-election is conducted , it will cost APC that senatorial seat, because there was 60% assurance that APC would lose that seat. Court gave APC that senatorial seat. So it is in the party interest to be a senator, while party replace Lalong with APC loyalist. Even though, PBAT is yet to appoint another ministerial nominee for Plateau State.

David Umahi:
Umahi is the current minister of work. He is the immediate past governor of Ebonyi state. He was elected into the senate in 2023 election, but resigned to take the appointment of minister of works.

Simon Lalong:
Lalong is currently a senator. He is the immediate past governor of Plateau state. He was appointed minister of Labour, but resigned his ministerial position when the court declared him senator of his senatorial zone.

Considering the uncertainties and failure of this govt so far, who do you think made the right decision between the two of them?

Umahi made the right choice and all can see he's performing in your so called government of failure! I don't know what you had achieved in your lifetime, though?

But the failure coming with this govt is also robbing him and damaging his reputation.
His ambition of becoming a president now hangs on the success of this administration and so far, it has been catastrophic.
Meanwhile Lalong still has his reputation intact.

Nigerian politicians don't care about reputation.
They are just after the money.
Umahi will be given the APC senatorial ticket for his constituency in 2027.
If he wins and Tinubu is reelected, he'll resign again and become a minister.
If Tinubu loses, he'll continue as a senator.

But Lalloong did say Ministerial work is tedious. He opted for senate because he wants easy life and unquestionable looting/free constituency allowance.

Both of them made the right choice. Lalong just want a peaceful retirement lifeso he opted for the senate. Umahi still want to be seen in the public, controlling a full ministry that has a budget as big as Ebonyi state so he opted for the ministerial appointment

Plus there is nothing in the ministry of labour only trouble from unions on daily basis.

With the major milestone waiting to be achieved with the various landmark projects, Umahi will find it easy to retain his job as Tinubu gets his second term mandate.

Lagos-Calabar project and others is a big one for Tinubu and Umahi.

In terms of Naija mentality of laziness...they can claim Lalong make right choice (as long as he is eating free money in NASS)...

Umahi actually made the right choie

Lalong is clueless and dimwit. He was the campaign DG of BAT, he couldn't make the first list of ministers which is strange. He knew he will be fired and had to run to the Senate. Idiot that lost his senate seat, if not for the corrupt appeal court which all plateau PDP members lost their legislative seats (NASS & state assembly). He just an opportunist.

Minister position is far better than a senator. I give it up to Umahi💯.

Federal Executive Council member no be play✔️

The first pwrson to be fired is Tinubu

Re: Between Umahi And Lalong, Who Made The Right Choice? by Dronedude(m): 10:23pm On Jul 17, 2024

Both cases are unique from different aspect Umahi left Senate to a juicy position of ministry of works which is the best situation on his part while along left a dry ministry to Senate. Both politicians made right decisions.

If it is not for foolishness can't you see Umahi is already creating a leadership role for himself when the presidency return to the South ?

Where a whole Fashola failed over 8 years Umahi succeeded n transform the ministry within just a year. Do you think anyone can erase that record if he keeps it up ?!

Let presidency return to the North let see if Lalong with be considered for VP talk more of being in good stead for the #1 seat.

The only thing that disqualified Lalong from becoming president as a northerner is because he isn't a Fulani man.

The choice made by Simon Lalong to protect the Plateau South Senatorial position, was in the interest of the party (APC). If he had chosen to remain as a minister, there would have been a re-run election which could have probably been won by the PDP.
On the other hand, Dave Umahi chose to relinquish his Senatorial position for ministerial position because the APC is more popular in Eboyin than the PDP, based on the 2023 election results .. He has also performed well as a minister of works.

This is the person that understands policitics.

Agreed both made a very wise and good decisions.

Lalong knew his candidature was very unpopular and could be replace within a year or two, while Umahi was very certain he would remain a minister for 4 years.

Oil dey your head. Very apt

Re: Between Umahi And Lalong, Who Made The Right Choice? by yusufmurry: 11:10pm On Jul 17, 2024

Don't be deceived, Umahi's decision was selfish and to return his immediate elder brother to the senate who was the initial flag bearer while he (Umahi) was contesting for the APC presidential position.

Umahi was to run as Ahmed Lawan's VP had the plan worked. After Tinubu dislodged their plans, he returned to his state while his brother resigned as the flag bearer, prompting INEC to conduct another Ebonyi South APC senatorial primaries. Then Umahi picked up the ticket. So he planned to reward his brother but that plan caused a big issue because everyone criticized him. How Umahi "won" the senatorial election against the choice of his people for the LP candidate is a talk for another day. No thanks to INEC & judiciary.

Like Wike, like Umahi. Umahi's plan for 2031 is to be VP to a Northerner after Tinubu for the APC 2031 North-South ticket. While there is doubt in the public if Wike would work with Tinubu for his 8 years because of his character and controversies, there is no such doubt about Umahi because he knows how to play to the gallery and worship anyone to get what he wants. He is composed and "smart".

Therefore, Lalong's choice is the best because it is an elected position
