Sen. David Umahi (APC–Ebonyi South), on Thursday, said that President Bola Tinubu is solely responsible for his nomination as a minister from Ebonyi.
Umahi made the declaration in Abakaliki while speaking to newsmen on being received by Gov. Francis Nwifuru.
The Senate Deputy Majority Leader, said he owed profound appreciation to President Tinubu for “fulfiling his promise during the trying period”.
“My governor (Nwifuru) should be happy because he wished for it,” he said.
He pledged to work assiduously in justifying the confidence reposed in him, noting that he had no inkling on the ministry to supretend.
“I will work with the president to ensure that all promises he made are kept.
“I cannot determine the particular ministry to head but I will justify the Ebonyi character of resourcefulness and exceptionality,” he said.
The former governor commended Nwifuru for ‘taking care of the state well,’ since he left the seat in May.
