The Minister of Works, Mr. David Umahi, has again taken a swipe at the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2027 general election, Mr. Peter Obi, accusing him of seeking the presidency at all costs and failing to be forthright on critical issues affecting the South-east region.

Umahi, according to a statement issued in Abuja by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Francis Nwaze, made the remarks at the weekend during the inspection of Section 2 of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Superhighway in Epe, Lagos State.
