The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi has dismissed the death threat statement credited to the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, describing the statement as a sign of frustration.
Senator Umahi while inspecting some legacy projects of President Bola Tinubu in Ebonyi State at the weekend, said there is nobody that wants Peter Obi dead amid the controversies surrounding the statement.
Umahi attributed the statement by the former Governor of Anambra State as sign of frustration, adding that the visible development and inclusion of the South East zone by President Tinubu has become major threat to Obi’s aclaimed popularity in the region.
He said: “Nobody wants Obi dead, it’s not just reasonable. We all want him alive to contest this election and watch himself lose again.
“What he is afraid of is because he said South East is his catchment area because of the last election which I call an accident of history. But we have come with visible development in the zone and our people have now agreed with us that we are better of with President Tinubu to complete the good works he is doing for us than playing Artificial intelligence (AI) kind of politics.”
The Minister also reiterated his readiness to debate with Peter Obi on the many gains of present administration and reason the South East should be grateful for inclusion in the national politics.
