Minister of Works, Dave Umahi has hit out at the African Democratic Congress (ADC) National Chairman, David Mark over his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Speaking at the launch of the Akwanga–Jos Super Highway construction on Wednesday, Umahi said:

“I want to thank the factional chairman of ADC, my name sake, David Mark. He was going to say that Tinubu has done very well in infrastructure, he was going to say that but my brother Wike has replied him.

“Because he damaged his sincerity by saying ‘is it road that we will chop?’

“The infrastructure road is the GDP that grows every other GDP, when a road is cut, it’s like the person is in prison because when you can’t go from one point to the other then you are in prison.”

“Look at what the President is doing from one distance to the other. Nasarawa is very close to Ebonyi, when Ebonyi is very close to Cross River, when Cross River is close to Sokoto that is the GDP that we are looking at.”
