The apex Igbo socio-political group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has declared that Minister of Works David Umahi has outperformed top Southeast political figures like Peter Obi and Hope Uzodimma in advancing the region’s development.

In a statement signed by the group’s Deputy President General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and National Spokesperson, Thompson Ohia, Ohanaeze said it had reviewed the track records of various Southeast leaders, and Umahi came out on top.

“The findings from this comprehensive analysis present an irrefutable case that Senator Dave Umahi’s leadership distinguishes itself above all others, particularly in contrast to Mr. Peter Obi and Governor Hope Uzodimma,” the statement read.

According to the group, Umahi’s infrastructural strides and negotiation power as former Chairman of the Southeast Governors’ Forum have significantly boosted the region’s profile, including upgrades to the Enugu International Airport and the establishment of a second international airport in Abakaliki.

Ohanaeze also hailed Umahi’s current role as Minister of Works, pointing to what it called “revolutionary” infrastructure projects under his watch across the region.

But the group didn’t stop there — it went on to throw its full weight behind President Bola Tinubu’s second-term bid, declaring that Umahi has now been appointed its Igbo National Political Leader to help mobilize support.

“As President Tinubu approaches the two-year milestone of his presidency on May 29, 2027, Ohanaeze Ndigbo conveys our unwavering assurance that Senator Dave Umahi is the singular, trusted political leader of the Southeast,” the group said.

Popular lawyer and human rights activist, Deji Adeyanju, has called out Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan over her recent sexual harassment allegations against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

The senator, who has been making headlines with her daring claims, stated that only a “competent court of law” could compel her to present evidence of the alleged misconduct. Her stance has since sparked public debate and divided opinion across social media.

Responding to her remarks, Adeyanju argued that Akpoti-Uduaghan owed more than just the courts; she owed Nigerians the truth.

“Senator Natasha is wrong yet again on this,” he wrote on X.. “Many Nigerians believed you without any single evidence. You owe Nigerians evidence to back up your claim of sexual harassment. It’s not only the court you owe this explanation.”

This comes on the heels of a sarcastic Instagram post in which Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan addressed Senate President Akpabio directly, saying, “My apologies, Senate President, if I made you feel less than who you think you are. You’re indeed a very handsome man…but sexual harassment is never a compliment.”

While her comment was laced with irony, it only fueled the ongoing discourse, with critics questioning the credibility of her claims and supporters demanding accountability from the Senate President.

As calls for transparency mount, it remains to be seen whether the senator will present further details or maintain her current position.
