He had also called on President Bola Tinubu to replace ineffective ministers.     Responding at a political gathering over the weekend, Umahi took an apparent swipe at the socialite, criticizing the culture of noise-making and public displays of wealth. The minister argued that real wealth reflects in achievements rather than boasting, stating that money does not need to shout to prove itself.   "We are becoming very noisy. Money na water.

Money speaks for itself " Umahi said.     Chief Priest hit back on social media, challenging Umahi to show the projects he has delivered in the South-East and accusing him of making empty political promises. He also questioned Umahi's alleged political plans for his son, warning against turning governance into a family business, and criticized the “slow pace” of development in Ebonyi State and the wider region.   “Pharaoh, let our people go, honorable Minister of Works; Pharaoh, let the people of the Southeast go'' he said   The post ‘Pharaoh, let Southeast go’- Cubana Chief Priest slams Minister of Works, Dave Umahi appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
