ABUJA — Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, has alleged that former Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, declined a proposed public debate because he was unable to defend his record in office.
Umahi, in a statement issued by his media aide, Francis Nwaze, on Saturday, said the proposed debate was not about politics or the 2027 election but about assessing the performance records of both former governors.
He said the invitation was intended to provide a platform for comparing their achievements in public service based on verifiable records.
“Politics comes and goes, but records remain. That was the basis of my invitation to Mr. Peter Obi. A debate on governance, leadership and results, not personalities or party,” Umahi said.
