Chief Priest made the challenge in a video shared on social media, where he criticised the minister over the state of infrastructure in the region.

The socialite alleged that a bridge had stopped serving its intended purpose following work carried out on it under Umahi’s supervision.

He also accused the minister of promising votes for President Bola Tinubu without demonstrating sufficient development to convince residents of the region to support the President.

Chief Priest questioned what Umahi was relying on to persuade people in the South-East to vote for Tinubu. He also alleged that the minister was positioning his son to succeed Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru.

“Minister of Works, show us project wey you do for your region; our bridge is no longer bridging since you touched it. Let us go,” he said.

The socialite further criticised the alleged plan to position Umahi’s son for the governorship, arguing that political leadership should not be treated as a family affair.

He also questioned the level of development in Ebonyi State and the wider South-East, accusing the minister of failing to address the region’s challenges.

“Pharaoh, let our people go, honorable Minister of Works; Pharaoh, let the people of the Southeast go,” he added.

The veteran actor recently shared videos of himself attending and hosting campaign rallies in different parts of the country in support of Tinubu, who is seeking re-election for another term in office.

His posts triggered reactions from Nigerians, with several social media users criticising him for backing the President.

Reacting to the criticism in a post on his Instagram page, Balogun urged his critics to respect differing opinions and allow people to make their own choices.

The actor also offered prayers for those attacking him, asking God to heal them and return their prayers and curses to them.

He wrote: “Rest! Live and let live. Oluwa wa pelu yin! May God heal you and may all your prayers and curses return to you. God bless Nigeria.”

Meanwhile, veteran Nollywood actor Yinka Quadri has explained why he and other Yoruba actors and entertainers are supporting Tinubu’s bid for a second term.

Quadri said his decision to support the President was influenced by his personal experiences and the assistance Tinubu had rendered to members of the entertainment industry over the years.

He noted that Tinubu’s relationship with entertainers predates his presidency, tracing it back to his time as governor of Lagos State.

Speaking during an interview on the African A-List programme, Quadri recalled that Tinubu reportedly paid the medical bills of late Nollywood actor Babatunde Omidina, popularly known as Baba Suwe, while he was battling an illness.

According to Quadri, the President had consistently provided financial assistance to entertainers in need, making him a familiar figure within the industry.
