‘Peter Obi is trying to incite South Easterners against the present administration’ - Dave Umahi

Minister of Works, Dave Umahi has alleged that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi is trying to incite South Easterners against the present administration.

During an event for compensation of those affected by the ongoing Calabar-Lagos coastal lane, Umahi recalled how Obi allegedly initiated the demolition of houses standing in the way of road construction without compensation.

He also stated that no injustice was meted out to the owner of the Landmark property as he was there. Umahi further asked Peter Obi to apologise over the comment while claiming that he’s trying to push South Easterners away from this administration.
