PETER OBI CAN’T FACE ME, LET ALONE TINUBU — UMAHI

Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, has dismissed the political strength of former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, asserting that the Labour Party leader is no match for him or President Bola Tinubu in any electoral contest.

Speaking during a political rally in Ebonyi State, Umahi declared that Obi lacked the capacity to confront him directly, let alone challenge the sitting president. “Peter Obi cannot face me, let alone Tinubu. He is all noise and no substance,” the minister said to cheers from supporters.

The statement has sparked heated reactions from Obi’s supporters, who accused Umahi of arrogance and underestimating the growing influence of the Labour Party. Political observers see the remark as part of ongoing rivalry between major political blocs ahead of future elections.

Umahi, a former governor of Ebonyi State, has been a vocal supporter of the Tinubu administration and its policies.

The exchange highlights the intensifying political temperature as parties begin positioning for the 2027 general elections.
