Peter Obi is playing AI politics, nobody is scared of him – Tinubu’s minister Umahi
The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has declared that the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, cannot defeat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
Umahi said nobody was intimidated by Obi, whom he accused of practising what he described as “Artificial Intelligence (AI) politics.”
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Tuesday, the minister boasted that he could defeat Obi in an election, let alone President Tinubu.
“Peter Obi is playing AI politics. Nobody is scared of him.
“As governor, Obi invested money in a bank while owing contractors. Even the education sector during his time was built around special centres.
“Obi cannot even face me, talk more of facing President Bola Tinubu,” Umahi said.
The minister also criticised Obi’s performance as Governor of Anambra State, alleging that he failed to improve critical sectors such as healthcare and infrastructure.
According to Umahi, Obi should have resigned as governor because he allegedly failed to deliver on roads, airports and other development projects.
His latest remarks come days after he accused the former Anambra governor of persistently attacking his integrity and personality.
Speaking during the launch of the construction of the Akwanga-Jos Superhighway, Umahi alleged that Obi lacked an understanding of governance.
He further accused the former Labour Party presidential candidate of using photographs of damaged sections of federal roads to score political points on social media.
The minister also challenged Obi to a public debate over governance and infrastructure development.
