‘Pharaoh, let Southeast go’ — Cubana Chief Priest slams Umahi
Socialite Cubana Chief Priest has publicly criticized Minister of Works David Umahi, labeling him a “Pharaoh” and questioning his accomplishments in the South-East. In a recent social media post, Chief Priest challenged Umahi to present evidence of developmental projects he has delivered in the region, alleging that the minister has made promises of support for President Bola Tinubu without providing tangible benefits to the community.
Chief Priest expressed skepticism regarding Umahi’s ability to persuade residents to back Tinubu, while accusing the minister of grooming his son to succeed current Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru. He also raised concerns about the state of infrastructure in the area, claiming that a bridge which underwent repairs has ceased to function effectively.
“Minister of Works, show us the projects you have completed for your region; our bridge is no longer bridging since you touched it. Let us go,” he wrote.
Additionally, Chief Priest challenged Umahi’s plans for his son, asserting that governance should not be treated as a family enterprise. He criticized the perceived stagnation in Ebonyi and the broader South-East, urging the minister to stop impeding progress.
“Pharaoh, let our people go, honorable Minister of Works; Pharaoh, let the people of the Southeast go,” he stated.
