Group Describes House of Reps Member's Comments on Umahi as Frivolous, Unhealthy
... Passes Vote of Confidence on Him 

Odu’a Professionals Development Forum has condemned what it described as unhealthy and frivolous comments made by the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Federal Roads Maintenance Agency, Remi Oseni, who claimed that the minister of works,Mr Dave Umahi had misplaced his priorities over the state of roads across the country.

The committee Chairman, who accused the Minister of neglecting his duty and priorities at an oversight meeting claimed the works Minister had “no plan for the nation.”

But in a reaction to the comments,Odu’a Professionals Development Forum in a statement signed by the Coordinator, Chief Olatunji Aborishade defended the Works Minister, saying," it is unhealthy to insinuate that a committed Minister such as Umahi who has been working under stringent financial conditions, is a failure just within a year of being appointed.

According to the group,Umahi is one of the hardworking and productive Ministers who has demonstrated the courage and will to ensure that our roads are constructed with the requisite standard specifications.

While urging him to shun any form of diversionary scheme aimed at  pulling him down at this critical period, the group cautioned him against joining issues with the lawmaker out of the regards  for Nigerians National Assembly , especially Speaker of the House of Representatives,who appreciate his efforts .

The statement further reads : "We have carefully followed all the  Ministers appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and discovered,No works Minister had ever had the courage to terminate contract and deal with big construction giants like Umahi.

"We are therefore  urging the Works Minister to publish and document the success achieved with the N300bn projects used for over 330 roads, palliatives, and bridge repairs to avoid this kind of propaganda against him.

The group which, called  on the House of Member to face his duty of lawmaking and leave members of the executive arm of government to their work with distractions, stated,"We are glad to inform him that Umahi has revealed that the Ministry of Works has reached over 85% completion in the procurement and execution of 330 road palliatives and bridge repairs.

 Stating that ,"It is in the public domain that Umahi as Nigeria’s Minister of Works, has been recognized as one of the nation’s top-performing ministers in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

"Since assuming office as Minister of Works, Umahi has embarked on numerous infrastructure projects, including the successful reopening of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos after extensive maintenance works.

"And the award of Badagry-sokoto; Lagos- Calabar coastal highway, Lagos -Abeokuta ,Port Harcourt- Enugu Road, Calabar- Onitcha Road, Suleja -Minna Road, Abuja-Lokoja Road projects  further solidified his reputation as a dedicated and effective leader.

"We recalled how he saved over 400 billion naira tax payers money fraudulently charged by the contractors handling the Abuja -Kano-Kano roads. For us, it's a feat worthy of commendation rather than condemnation . Against this background,we passed vote of confidence on the Minister .

BELLO EL-RUFAI THE BESPECTACLED PYGMY . By Comrade Musa Mohammed (Moonlight) It is disheartening, Bello El-Rufai, as a federal lawmaker, entrusted with representing the people, for resorting such behaviour, attempting to obstruct the lawful functions of the kaduna State House of Assembly. Your attempts Bello, intimidation, threats or your erratic and unruly actions will not stop the kaduna legislatives  to investigate financial dealings, loans, grants, and projects implementation from 2015-2023 in Kaduna State,  Bello El-Rufai, you should go ahead with your threat. A word is enough for you, your father, and family all, if you are wise. It is very unfortunate that your biological father, Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai is the worse thing that ever happened to Kaduna State. The man that plunged the state in deep fire but God pass the idiot.  Our greatest pain is that there were few people that never saw anything bad about all the nefarious activities of that satanic agent ...
