Addressing the nation’s difficulties, Umahi remarked that while no leader desires instability, true leadership requires the courage to confront crises head-on. He expressed confidence that the President would find the wisdom and strength to resolve these issues, regardless of their origins. Furthermore, the Minister affirmed that the government remains focused on completing all ongoing infrastructure projects within their planned timelines.
Calls for Resignation from Opposition Groups
Conversely, the Conference of United Political Parties (CUPP) has issued a demand for President Tinubu’s resignation, citing persistent economic hardship and national insecurity. Supported by the House of Representatives Minority Caucus, acting National Chairman Peter Ameh argued that the current administration has failed to produce the necessary results for good governance. The statement emphasized that leadership is a responsibility rather than a right, suggesting that the honorable path for an official who cannot alleviate citizens’ suffering is to step down.
