Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has dismissed suggestions that he is not on the same level as the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, insisting there is no area in which the former Anambra State governor is superior to him. Umahi spoke on Thursday in Benin City at the 'Operation Rescue Benin-Asaba Road' event, where he also maintained that it was not yet the turn of the Igbo to produce Nigeria's president, saying President Bola Tinubu should remain in office. The minister said comparisons between him and Obi should be based on their family backgrounds, intellectual capacity, records of service and contributions to the South-East. Reacting to comments by one Awuzi, who he said had accused Igbo people of insulting Obi, Umahi said he did not believe any reasonable person would insult the former Anambra governor.
