Osita Okechukwu, a founding member of the All Progressives Congress, or APC, warned President Bola Tinubu on Sunday that if he does not immediately summon Works Minister David Umahi to order, it might upset his election fortunes in the Southeast.

The Southeast APC Renewal Movement’s National Coordinator, Okechukwu, claimed that it is unfortunate that “our own big brother, Engr. David Umahi, Minister of Works,” is sabotaging the sole important road in the Southeast that benefited from the nationwide Road Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme (RITCS).

He claimed that up until Umahi’s unjust and needless stop work order, the 110-kilometer Enugu-Onitsha Express Road construction had been proceeding smoothly under the MTN Road Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme (RITCS).

In addition to claiming that the stop work order was the cause of the hardship experienced by drivers on the highway, Okechukwu also mentioned the numerous heartbreaking and horrifying motor accidents, including the preventable Oil Tanker tragedy that killed many people in the final week before Enugu, including a whole family returning from South Africa.

In a statement, he urged the president to carry out a comprehensive inquiry to support or contradict their findings that the sluggish road construction is impeding the Southeast’s careful voter mobilization for the president as the 2027 presidential election draws near.

He said: “Indeed some of our political opponents are insinuating that Umahi is playing President Tinubu’s script, which I know is a big blatant lie. The traducers site instances when Umahi had not only issued a stop work order, albeit had altered the scope of work by deleting the 9th Mile Flyover, Solar Light included for security reasons and a host of uncountable bottlenecks.

“Before God and man, one cannot fathom the main reason behind our brother’s infractions on this RITCS project carefully designed to avoid cumbersome budget circle.”

He continued by saying that SARM was concerned and had to wonder where the Minister, who had been without funds for more than a year to repair the normal collapsed bridge at the Enugu-Port Harcourt road’s neck, found alternative funding when he threatened to cancel MTN’s N202 billion goodwill contract for the Enugu-Onitsha Express Road in a press release.

“Mr President kindly intervene to stop this unholy assault on the integrity of Ndigbo, their stereotype-emotional vortex, unnecessarily being raised and their economic development.
