David Umahi, who served as the Governor of Ebonyi State and represents Ebonyi South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, on Friday resigned from Senate in preparation for his new role as minister.
Umahi is a two-term governor of Ebonyi State and a leader in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He is part of a group of powerful nominees, including former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Dele Alake, and others, who have been chosen as potential ministers for President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet.
The list of nominees was presented to the Senate by Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the President and former Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Nigerians are eagerly waiting for the Senate’s confirmation process to see how the new administration’s team will be formed and what roles the nominees will take on in the government.
