The face-off between Peter Obi and Minister of Works, David Umahi over the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project has taken a new form.
This is as Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has counselled Obi to desist from publicly attacking the minister, but rather engage him diplomatically and privately.
Recall that Umahi and Obi have exchanged words over the Lagos-Calabar Highway, with supporters of the ruling government as well as opposition elements also attacking themselves online.
In a statement issued on Sunday, May 5, by the secretary general of the Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Ohanaeze said the repeated attacks on vital infrastructure initiatives, such as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road project, raise concerns among Nigerians, especially the Igbo community.
“In response to the recent controversies clouding the Lagos Calabar Coastal Project, Ohanaeze Ndigbo unequivocally denounces the unjust vilification aimed at Senator Dave Umahi by Peter Obi and other detractors. “Setting the records straight, Ohanaeze calls for private dialogue and constructive engagements rather than resorting to public confrontations that could impede the much-needed infrastructural development in the Southeast,” the statement read
