Ebonyi South: LP candidate tackles Umahi, You have no right to replace yourself

The Labour Party senatorial candidate in the February 25, 2023 National Assembly Elections for Ebonyi South Zone, Linus Okorie, has knocked the Minister of Works, David Umahi, for saying he has the right to choose who will succeed him at the Senate.

This was even as he urged the former governor to spend more energy in delivering quality and durable roads to Nigerians than desperately ‘politicking’ for who will replace him at the Red Chamber.

Umahi was a senator for the Ebonyi South District until he ‘resigned’ after he was appointed minister by President Bola Tinubu.

On Saturday, during a courtesy call to the Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, the works minister publicly declared that he has the right to choose his successor.
