‘Pharaoh, let Southeast go’ — Cubana Chief Priest slams Umahi

Socialite Cubana Chief Priest has described Minister of Works David Umahi as a “Pharaoh” and challenged him to show the projects he has delivered in the South-East, accusing him of making promises of votes for President Bola Tinubu without convincing the people with development.

In a strongly worded post, the socialite questioned what Umahi was using to persuade people in the region to support Tinubu, while accusing him of preparing his son to become the next governor of Ebonyi State after the current governor, Francis Nwifuru.

He also criticised the minister over the condition of infrastructure in the region, alleging that a bridge had stopped serving its purpose after Umahi worked on it.

“Minister of Works, show us project wey you do for your region; our bridge is no longer bridging since you touched it. Let us go,” he wrote.

Cubana Chief Priest also questioned Umahi’s alleged plan for his son, arguing that governance should not become a family business.

He further challenged the minister over what he described as the backwardness of Ebonyi and the wider South-East, repeatedly calling on him to stop holding the people back.

“Pharaoh, let our people go, honorable Minister of Works; Pharaoh, let the people of the Southeast go,” he added.
