Jadda Garko advises Umahi to prioritize national interests over regional concerns to protect Tinubu’s votes in the Northern Nigeria 2027.
A Popular Renowned Hope singer and APC ambassador, Alh. Jamilu Jadda Garko, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to constitute an investigative panel to probe Minister of Works, David Umahi, over divisive comments that have strained relationships with northern Nigerians.
Speaking to journalists in Kano Friday, Garko expressed disappointment at being overlooked despite his tireless efforts to promote President Tinubu’s mission in the north.
“As Renewed Hope Mandate ambassador, I traversed across the north, leveraging my talent and wisdom in the last election and also wants to seek another votes in the next election so that I must take corrective action to protect my boss ( Tunubu)” Garko emphasized.
Umahi’s assertion that northern roads surpass southern ones sparked Garko’s challenge “If what the minister has said is true, let him showcase projects like Kaduna to Abuja, Katsina to Kano, Jos to Abuja, or Damaturu to Borno. Which received funding for maintenance or new construction under his watch.
Garko criticized Umahi’s sycophants for defending his lies by labeling him a comedian actor. “They forgot my northern tour promoting President Tinubu, this insult won’t be taken lightly”
Regarding allegations of ethnicity and regional bias, Garko questioned Umahi’s motives. “Nigerians should ask him about published stories on his interactions
with contractors on September 19 and workers on September 28. However, Does he have functional CCTV cameras in his office, unlike other federal government offices, including the Villa?”
He disclosed that the federal ministry of works deserves scrutiny because all the reviews of contracts made by the minister should be in an open door policy for Nigerians to understand that president Tinubu is leading without bias.
Garko also called on Nigerians, especially northerners, to support President Tinubu in the next election, setting aside Minister Umahi’s controversies in order to benefit more from the real democratic dividends.
Finally Jadda Garko, asked Minister Umahi to take action and resolve the issues before to break his silence on deu process and percentage in the ministry
