Popular business man and socialite Cubana Chief Priest has criticised Minister of Works, David Umahi, challenging him to show the projects he has delivered in the South-East while accusing him of making political promises on behalf of the region without addressing its development needs.
In a strongly worded post, the socialite questioned what Umahi was using to convince people in the South-East to support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
He also accused the minister of allegedly positioning his son to succeed Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, after his tenure.
Cubana Chief Priest further criticised the state of infrastructure in the region, alleging that a bridge had stopped serving its purpose after Umahi worked on it.
“Minister of Works, show us project wey you do for your region; our bridge is no longer bridging since you touched it. Let us go,” he wrote.
He also questioned the alleged plan to make Umahi’s son the next governor of Ebonyi State, arguing that governance should not be treated as a family affair.
The socialite further expressed dissatisfaction with what he described as the slow development of Ebonyi State and the wider South-East.
Calling on the minister to allow the region to move forward, he wrote: “Pharaoh, let our people go, honorable Minister of Works; Pharaoh, let the people of the Southeast go.”
