Minister of Works, David Umahi, has sparked reactions after reportedly stating that he borrowed $150 million to fund road projects in Ebonyi State rather than keeping the money in a bank.
The statement has generated debate online, particularly among supporters of Peter Obi, as Nigeria’s political conversation increasingly shifts toward the 2027 general elections.
Umahi’s remarks have also triggered mixed reactions on social media, with some users praising the decision to invest borrowed funds in infrastructure while others are questioning the circumstances and financial implications of the borrowing.
The development is likely to fuel further political arguments ahead of the 2027 elections.
