A group under the name Concerned Northern APC Youth Forum, have roundly condemned recent outburst against the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, saying the attacks stem from vendetta and not facts.

In a press statement signed by the Chairman of the group, Hon. Suleiman Liba, said those who once pleaded for favours from Umahi but were denied, have now resorted to hate and division. 

Liba said Umahi as an APC stalwart and President Tinubu’s strong supporter in the Southeast deserves respect.

According to him, Umahi has demonstrated his commitment to improving road infrastructure in the North judging from projects like the Sokoto-Badagri expressway and other numerous ongoing projects.

He urged those behind the attack to acknowledge the good works of the Minister and desist from spreading hate.

“Umahi is one of the most performing Ministers of this administration and we know President Tinubu understands better. 

“My advice to them is to stop chasing after the wind with misconstrued perceptions that do not hold water, shun campaigns of calumny and deal with facts, only so people will take anything coming from them seriously. 

“We know the disposition of Northern elders, Chiefs and Youths of Northern extraction towards Umahi, so all your claims are dead on arrival.”
