The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi has dismissed the death threat alleged by the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, insisting that he would be alive to contest and fail again in 2027.
Senator Umahi stated this while inspecting some legacy projects of President Bola Tinubu in Ebonyi State at the weekend.
The Minister further Obi’s alleged dead threat as sign of frustration, emphasizing that nobody wanted the Presidential candidate dead.
Umahi added that the visible development and inclusion of the South East zone by President Tinubu has become major threat to Obi’s acclaimed 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 accident of history”.
“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.
