Umahi and those who betray their brothers, by Emmanuel Aziken
David Umahi, Nigeria’s Minister of Works and former governor of Ebonyi State, has built much of his political argument around infrastructure delivery, loyalty to President Bola Tinubu and his disagreement with Peter Obi’s presidential ambition. Yet, a statement he made during the run-up to the 2023 elections continues to raise questions about consistency, political loyalty and the place of South-East interests in Nigeria’s power equation. In June 2022, following the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary, Umahi expressed anger that South-East delegates had failed to rally behind an aspirant from their region. He had polled 38 votes, while Tinubu won the ticket with 1,271 votes. Umahi argued that the contest was about more than his personal ambition: it was an opportunity for the South-East to demonstrate its capacity and determination to produce Nigeria’s president. “I continue to let them know that he that sells his brother or sister, even the buyers will not trust him,” Umahi said. He also declared that the outcome was a shame for a region whose leaders had consistently complained of marginalisation. The remark was powerful because it framed political support as a question of solidarity and trust. Umahi maintained that delegates should have voted for any South-East aspirant, irrespective of personal preference, to send a message that the region was qualified to lead the country. He accused delegates of trading their votes and warned that those who betrayed their own would eventually struggle to earn the confidence of others. But political history rarely offers the comfort of simple loyalties. Umahi himself had left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC in November 2020, after serving as governor, deputy governor and party chairman under the PDP. His defection was publicly linked to his conviction that the South-East needed a fair opportunity to produce the president. He subsequently sought the APC ticket, but his 38 votes exposed the limits of regional solidarity within a national party whose delegates had their own calculations. The question now is whether the principle Umahi invoked in 2022 should apply only to the pursuit of a South-East presidency or also to broader questions of political representation, fairness and national inclusion. Following the 2023 election, Umahi joined Tinubu’s federal cabinet as Minister of Works. He has since defended the administration’s infrastructure agenda and argued that federal projects demonstrate the President’s commitment to the South-East. In June 2025, he reportedly cited federal appointments and projects in the region as evidence of what he described as Tinubu’s commitment to national integration. There is nothing inherently contradictory about a South-East politician serving in a government led by a president from another region. Nor should ministerial appointments be reduced to an ethnic headcount. A minister’s primary responsibility is to Nigeria as a whole, and the performance of the Works Ministry should be judged by the quality, cost, timeliness and public value of infrastructure projects. Nevertheless, Umahi’s earlier argument about regional fairness makes it legitimate to ask how consistently he raises concerns about representation and opportunity across the federation. If he once insisted that the South-East should not surrender its presidential aspiration without a fight, Nigerians may reasonably ask whether he applies comparable scrutiny to questions of inclusion within the administration he now serves. This question becomes particularly relevant in his exchanges with Peter Obi. Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign drew substantial support in the South-East, where he defeated Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar in the presidential election. Umahi later said members of his own family had voted for Obi, describing the development as a surprise. The comment offered a glimpse of how deeply Obi’s appeal had penetrated even communities where Umahi had exercised considerable political influence. Umahi has continued to criticise Obi’s positions on infrastructure and the Tinubu administration. In June 2026, he challenged reports that Obi had promised to halt some of Tinubu’s legacy projects, describing the alleged position as painful while expressing hope that Obi had not made the statement. Umahi also questioned Obi’s record and urged comparisons between their respective approaches to governance. More recently, Umahi has argued that the South-East cannot produce a president through what he described as deception, insisting that national leadership requires a verifiable record of service. Yesterday, he was also on Arise News Television on an unbridled agenda to destroy Peter Obi, a man he once called his brother. These are arguments he is entitled to make. Obi, like any presidential aspirant, must be open to scrutiny over policy, performance and the feasibility of his proposals. But scrutiny should be reciprocal. Umahi’s own political record, his earlier appeal for regional solidarity and his current defence of the administration should also remain open to examination. Political disagreement is healthy; what weakens public debate is the impression that principles are invoked selectively depending on who benefits from them. There is also a practical question for the Minister of Works. Nigeria’s road network remains a major concern for motorists, businesses and communities, and the ministry faces enormous demands across the country. Umahi’s time and political energy are public resources. While he is entitled to express political views, Nigerians are equally entitled to demand sustained attention to road rehabilitation, project costs, contract delivery and the condition of federal highways. Ultimately, the issue is not whether Umahi must support Obi, nor whether the South-East must vote as a bloc. Democracy allows people from the same region to disagree, compete and support different parties. Regional solidarity cannot mean automatic loyalty to one politician, just as political disagreement should not be treated as betrayal. The enduring lesson of Umahi’s 2022 warning is that trust depends on consistency. If the South-East deserves fairness, that principle should be defended without selective application. If national development must transcend ethnicity, that standard should also apply to appointments, policies and political alliances. Umahi is free to defend Tinubu and criticise Obi. But the public is equally free to compare his present position with his earlier declarations and ask whether the principles he once advanced still guide his politics. In a democracy, no politician’s words should be exempt from the test of his subsequent choices.

The Trials of Brother Jordan Wike, by Ugoji Egbujo
The Igbo say whatever a snake births must be long. I had quietly prayed for Jordan to stay back in England and enjoy the sweat of his father . To enjoy our money on his behalf. But perhaps it was Fubara. It was after Fubara attempted to simplify Wike’s mystery that Jordan appeared on the stage. The afternoon dash Wike made to stampede Jordan into his ndoli-ndo-li must have been provoked. No toad makes an afternoon dash in vain. Fubara had seemed a proper puppet until he dared to call his puppeteer a thieving glutton of public wealth. Fubara’s betrayal must have prompted this apparent design to place the vassal state of Rivers directly in the hand of a biological son. In The Trials of Brother Jero, Soyinka explores religious hypocrisy, political charlatanism, corruption and superstition. Jero, a self-proclaimed man of God, dodges tax, takes advantage of the devotion of his gullible followers and of a superstitious society. Unlike Jero who suffered lack, The trials of Brother Jordan might have been ordained by the big shoes of his father which he is expected to fill. My advice to Jordan is simple: go back to England. The reputation of the father precedes him, and now he has the inherited appetite for land to contend with. Let him return to London and live forever like an African prince, the authentic grandson of a general manager of conglomerates. The gods have cracked his kernels. Only a few will begrudge him. But nobody will respect his wealth, even if he uses his head to break all the coconuts in Katampe or Badagry Beach and becomes a genuine billionaire. Let him live like a nepo-kid. Nigerians are bleating, frustrated by bad governance. They crave scapegoats. My advice is not the sort of kindness of a man who blows sand off his neighbour’s vagina. I seek no gain. I do not need a land allocation in Abuja. Indeed, there is nothing wrong with a son seeking to inherit the structures of his father, including any states, communities and elderly lackeys he has captured. But why take the bull by the horn if it has already surrendered its tail to you for pepper soup? If a child requires interpretation of a proverb, then the dowry paid on the head of his mother is a waste. My advice is without prejudice. Brother Jero calls himself The Immaculate. Jordan says he is immaculately innocent. Totally innocent. In the case brought against him in Abuja, the claimants’ lawyer said they petitioned the EFCC a year ago, but the eagle has perhaps chickened out. Tinubu obviously would not approve any action against the heifer of a sacred cow. The claimants said they gave Jordan 2.1 million dollars so he could provide them parcels of land in Guzape and Katampe for the building of housing estates. They allege Jordan told them he would need to grease his father’s palms with two million dollars and keep the balance. Jordan denies these allegations. So Jordan is still very much innocent. There is not even a criminal inquiry on the horizon. But it is not difficult to see why Jordan needs to stay away before he learns ‘enye ndi ebea, enye ndi ebea’. Is it not strange that his garrulous father, who assembles fawning journalists every week to gossip about everything under the sun, has conveniently forgotten to talk about how his enemies are trying to damage his political career by levelling fake allegations against his boy Jordan? Critics are already drawing damaging inferences. But perhaps it is envy. Why the outrage? The man has never hidden his true colours. Young Jordan had been seen living posh and nobody bothered. Now tongues are wagging. His father’s devotees might even remind us that when a child brings home more firewood than his peers, he can be accused of fetching them from the evil forest. Yet Jordan must know to keep his affairs tidy. Allowing small winds to blow and expose his underbelly does not reflect the tutoring he must have received from his capable dad, the fountain of intigrity. The words of our fathers are full of wisdom. When Wike was accused of land grabbing and selling off Abuja to family and cronies, he wondered aloud on television whether he was made a minister to allocate lands to enemies. But there is a River Jordan he might need to part and cross when a tribunal is instituted in the future to review FCT’s land allocation mechanism under him. Because son and father are one. Nevertheless, a real prostitute is never frightened by the size of the penis. So Wike, who is a life bencher and lover of judges, cannot be afraid of any tribunals. Jordan does not need an ezemmuo to tell him that a child should not wander about where his father has an unredeemed cow debt. Tomorrow is pregnant. His father is a strongman who has stepped on a thousand toes — with cruelty and talkativeness. So why would Jordan not tell them to make him ambassador to France rather than pursue this omonile enterprise? Or buy the appointment. Yes, it is possible. That is how we roll. A responsible adult does not stay at home and watch a goat go into labour while tethered. I cannot stay silent and watch him engage in livewire, messy deals without the gloves of proxies when he could be frolicking in the south of France as Nigeria’s envoy. And if he must do lands, then let him find his own Chinda — sorry, Chume. A front that offers him plenty of wiggle room and sufficient deniability. After all Jordan is not a child. It was at his age that Soyinka wrote The Trials of Brother Jero. A word is often enough for the wise. With repeated instructions, even the hard of hearing would hear. Jordan should know that his father started as a hustler only because his grandfather was truly a poor priest. Now Jordan has the luck of the richest and most powerful dads in the country, at whose feet justice bows. How can he then become an omonile? For him, money na water already. Why bother carrying a lamp in the blazing sun? His sun is blazing. All he needs to do is settle into a shade somewhere in Europe and enjoy his ogbono soup life. Brother Jero would not have taken to Bar Beach white-garmentry if he had had a rich dad. If Jordan fails to heed, he might meet a few Amopes on his path. Jordan looks steely, often unable to dance on his father’s rainbow podiums. But I do not think he has the capacity to tell tales like his father. He needs to distance himself and stay above the filthy fray. The rumours of becoming a legislator and taking over Rivers will fail unless he is ready to renounce his dad and seek to redeem Rivers from the bondage of its Nebuchadnezzar. But that would only make him another Fubara. But this time a wasp perched on his father’s scrotum. I am no fan of Wike, but I do not pray for a son to be his father’s nemesis. Perhaps Jordan inherited oversized ambitions too. Perhaps he wants to be richer than Dangote and more powerful than Mobutu, all by fixing electoral and judicial outcomes. If that is the case, then Rivers has another Omeokachie. But he has to be careful. The docile generation his father manipulated will not be available. In an easy stream, a crab can be champion. But when he jumps into a rough sea, if he is not eaten by a fish, he will be drowned by heavy currents. The future will be wild and unforgiving. To survive it he will need a total metamorphosis like Brother Jero
