The socialite accuses the Works Minister of failing to deliver meaningful development in the region, questions his alleged political succession plans in Ebonyi and urges him to stop making promises of votes for Tinubu without tangible results.

Socialite and celebrity businessman, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has launched a scathing attack on the Minister of Works, David Umahi, challenging him to showcase his achievements in the South-East rather than making political promises on behalf of the region.

In a strongly worded social media post, Cubana Chief Priest questioned what Umahi was relying on to convince people in the South-East to support President Bola Tinubu, arguing that political loyalty should be backed by visible development and tangible projects.

He appeared particularly dissatisfied with the state of infrastructure in the region, accusing the minister of failing to deliver projects that adequately address the needs of the people.

Taking a direct swipe at Umahi's record as Minister of Works, the socialite alleged that a bridge in the region had lost its intended usefulness following the minister's intervention.

"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 wrote.

Cubana Chief Priest also raised concerns over what he described as Umahi's alleged plan to position his son as the next governor of Ebonyi State after the incumbent governor, Francis Nwifuru.

He questioned the idea of political succession within the same family, arguing that public office should not be treated as a family inheritance or private business.

The socialite further criticised what he portrayed as the slow pace of development in Ebonyi State and the wider South-East, insisting that the people deserved better infrastructure and meaningful governance.

In one of the most striking portions of his post, Cubana Chief Priest repeatedly referred to Umahi as a "Pharaoh", drawing a biblical comparison to Pharaoh's refusal to let the Israelites go.

"Pharaoh, let our people go, Honourable Minister of Works; Pharaoh, let the people of the South-East go," he added.

His comments have brought renewed attention to questions surrounding infrastructure delivery, political representation and the future of leadership in Ebonyi State.

However, the allegations and criticisms contained in the socialite's post represent his personal position, and no response from Umahi was included in the statement.
