The Allied People’s Movement, APM, has called on President Bola Tinubu to immediately suspend the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, pending what it described as an open, independent and transparent inquest into the death of Mary Habila, a physiotherapist reportedly found dead at the minister’s residence in Ebonyi State.
The opposition party said allowing the minister to step aside while the circumstances surrounding Habila’s death are investigated would reassure Nigerians that no public office holder is above the law and help restore confidence in the government’s commitment to justice.
The demand was contained in a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, who argued that the Presidency should move swiftly to address growing public concern over the incident.
“The Allied People’s Movement (APM) demands that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu saves the image of the nation and the integrity of the Nigerian government by immediately suspending the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, and ordering an open, independent and transparent inquest into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mary Habila.
