Umahi stated this while reacting to a social media post alleging marginalisation of the South-East region in road development.

The minister said contrary to the post, President Tinubu is using fair distribution of infrastructure to reunite Nigerians and renew their hope, stressing that only those who open their eyes will see the light of change in Nigeria.

Umahi said he had directed all the regional directors of the Federal Ministry of Works back to sites in all the regions across the country to compile all inherited but ongoing projects and all new projects in all the regions so that Nigerians will appreciate the huge works that the President is doing in all the regions.

He explained that the President has four legacy projects, covering the six geo-political zones “with the South-East region well captured within the third Legacy Project of Cross River-Ebonyi-Benue-Kogi-Nasarawa-Abuja, totaling 465km x 2 with South-East covering 231.64km x 2 and 231.64km x 1 for ₦445.8 billion already awarded and work is going on. Mr. President has already paid ₦108 billion”.

He explained further that what happened in the Federal Executive Council (FEC) of 31th July, 2025, was a review of that corridor from 118kmx 1 to 231.64km x1 for ₦445.8 billion.

“This misleading writer chose to change the narrative of my press briefing after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) of Tran Sahara Section 1 (Ebonyi State to Benue border – 123.64km at ₦445.8 billion, but deliberately chose to call it Oyo-Benue Border Road to deceive and incite unsuspecting members of the public.

“I demand that he corrects the information immediately even if he fails to apologise.”

The minister queried the whereabouts of the writer when President Tinubu decided to treat South-East fairly in road infrastructure like other regions.

“Under his administration, 90% of abandoned projects, some awarded as far back as 2013, were all revived, and all are now ongoing. It is noteworthy to mention that there is huge ongoing works on the 2nd Niger Bridge access road 2A in Delta State which is valued at ₦146 Billion and 2B in Anambra State which is valued at ₦176 Billion.

He also noted the 208km Enugu-Onitsha Road (MTN Tax Credit which is valued at ₦ 202 billion and CBC completing the remaining section at ₦150 billion of which ₦45 billion was released last week, the Enugu – Port Harcourt road in four sections, the Enugu-Abakaliki, the Afikpo(Ebonyi) -Abia-Imo road, the Onitsha-Owerri-Aba road, the Aba-Ikot Ekpene road, the Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene road among others.

“I request the South-East people to rise in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR because he has demonstrated unwavering love and fairness to the people of the South-East.

“We must not be deceived again. Mr. President must have the votes of South-East up to 90% to cement this relationship,” Umahi said.

“Enough of darkening counsel without knowledge in the South-East. We must rise to educate our people. If we want to be president, we must avoid the politics of hate, misinformation, and sentiments.

“We must support other regions, and with God, one day, other regions will support us. Mr. President must be supported to complete his tenure of 8 years, which all regions are benefitting from.

“One day, we will be number one, but not in 2027. I will vocally continue to stand against any mischief to deceive our people. We are known for hard work and love and not hate,” the minister said.
