Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, has recognized Senator Dave Umahi, the Minister of Works, as the best-performing minister in the Federal Executive Council.
Others rated high by the apex-Igbo group are; The FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, Minister of Interior Toju-Ojo, and Presidential aide Bayo Ononuga. Ohanaeze hailed them as pillars supporting President Tinubu’s administration.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo in a statement signed by the Secretary General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said the first year of President Bola Tinubu’s administration has been heralded as a period of progress and development.
Mazi Isiguzoro said, despite inherited challenges such as a retrogressive economy, treasury looting, and infrastructural decay, President Tinubu has demonstrated the political will to overcome these obstacles more effectively than the previous 8 years under Former President Buhari.
The full statement read:
“During Buhari’s tenure, the Southeast region faced deliberate economic suppression and targeting, leading to strife and insecurity. In contrast, President Tinubu’s administration has fostered hope and progress in the Southeast through initiatives like the ongoing road reconstruction and rehabilitation projects led by Senator Dave Umahi, fostering economic activity and inclusivity.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo unequivocally declares Senator Dave Umahi as the best-performing Minister in the Federal Executive Council due to his diligence, dedication, and innovative ideas that have reshaped the region’s narrative. The organization also commends Minister Nyesom Wike for his visionary leadership, Minister Toju-Ojo for his reformative efforts, and Presidential aide Bayo Ononuga for his invaluable contribution to promoting President Tinubu’s vision.
“As the administration addresses challenges like insecurity and economic issues in the Southeast, Ohanaeze Ndigbo calls on President Tinubu to halt property demolitions in Lagos, release Nnamdi Kanu, enhance trade policies, and reopen the Calabar Seaport to stimulate economic growth further. The organization also advocates for the removal of underperforming ministers to drive progress and efficiency.
The Secretary-General Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro lauds President Tinubu for the strides made in his first year in office, expressing optimism for the future. Ohanaeze Ndigbo affirms its commitment to partnering with the government and urges opposition leaders to join hands with President Tinubu to rebuild the nation for prosperity and progress.
