Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, has declared Senator David Umahi, the Minister of Works, as the best performing minister in the Federal Executive Council of Nigeria.
Following him are the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, and Presidential aide Bayo Onanuga.
The group in a press statement issued yesterday by it’s Secretary General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro described them as pillars of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The statement in part said that, “The first year of President Bola Tinubu’s administration has been heralded as a period of progress and development. Despite inherited challenges such as a retrogressive economy, treasury looting, and infrastructural decay, President Tinubu has demonstrated the political will to overcome these obstacles more effectively than the previous 8 years under Former President Buhari”.
“During Buhari’s tenure, the Southeast region faced deliberate economic suppression and targeting, leading to strife and insecurity. In contrast, President Tinubu’s administration has fostered hope and progress in the Southeast through initiatives like the ongoing road reconstruction and rehabilitation projects led by Senator Dave Umahi, fostering economic activity and inclusivity”.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo unequivocally declares Senator Dave Umahi as the best-performing Minister in the Federal Executive Council due to his diligence, dedication, and innovative ideas that have reshaped the region’s narrative. The organization also commends Minister Nyesom Wike for his visionary leadership, Minister Tunji-Ojo for his reformative efforts, and Presidential aide Bayo Onanuga for his invaluable contribution to promoting President Tinubu’s vision”.
It added that, “As the administration addresses challenges like insecurity and economic issues in the Southeast, Ohanaeze Ndigbo calls on President Tinubu to halt property demolitions in Lagos, release Nnamdi Kanu, enhance trade policies, and reopen the Calabar Seaport to stimulate economic growth further. The organization also advocates for the removal of underperforming ministers to drive progress and efficiency”.
The Ohaneze Ndigbo Chief Scribe expressed optimism for the future, said that “Ohanaeze Ndigbo affirms its commitment to partnering with the government and urges opposition leaders to join hands with President Tinubu to rebuild the nation for prosperity and progress”.
