Umahi Finally Speaks On His Relationship With Mrs Ohiri Amid Viral Police HQ Drama | READ FULL & WATCH VIDEO

The Honourable Minister of Works, David Umahi, has finally addressed growing public speculation surrounding his alleged relationship with Mrs. Tracy Ohiri, following a viral video circulated by activist Omoyele Sowore at the Police Headquarters in Abuja.

In a strongly worded press statement issued on Tuesday by his Media Office, the Minister clarified his position on the matter and responded to what he described as a deliberate attempt to provoke and sensationalize an issue already under official investigation.

The controversy resurfaced after Sowore shared a video online showing an attempt to publicly confront the Minister at the Nigeria Police Headquarters. The activist referenced allegations previously made by Mrs. Tracy Ohiri, which have circulated on social media since last year.

The claims reportedly border on alleged misconduct and issues related to campaign materials. However, according to the Minister's Media Office, the accounts presented by Mrs. Ohiri have been inconsistent and contradictory over time.

The statement emphasized that the allegations have remained in the public domain for months and are currently before the appropriate authorities for investigation.

Responding to claims that the Minister influenced law enforcement actions, the statement firmly denied any misuse of the police.

According to the release, the Nigeria Police Force acted strictly within its constitutional mandate after receiving a petition from the Minister's legal representative. Mrs. Ohiri was arrested and statements were taken from all relevant parties, including the Minister, in line with standard procedure.

The Media Office dismissed the viral confrontation as "performative activism,ÔÇØ alleging that the attempt to stage a public spectacle was aimed at attracting attention rather than allowing due process to unfold.

The statement further revealed that Senator Umahi chose not to engage in any public altercation, maintaining what his team described as composure and respect for institutional procedures.

"As it stands, the matter is under police investigation, where facts will determine the outcome,ÔÇØ the statement read.

Observers say the Minister's decision to avoid public exchanges may be a strategic move to prevent escalation while investigations continue.

In a pointed remark, the statement criticized what it described as "indiscriminate attacks on public office holders,ÔÇØ stressing that activism should be rooted in integrity and fairness.

The Minister reiterated his commitment to transparency, the rule of law, and the continued delivery of infrastructure projects across the country.

Political analysts note that the situation highlights the increasing intersection between social media activism and formal legal processes in Nigeria's evolving democratic space.

With the investigation ongoing, attention now shifts to law enforcement authorities to determine the facts surrounding the allegations. Meanwhile, the public remains divided, with strong opinions expressed across social media platforms.

For now, the Minister maintains that he will not be distracted from his official duties and remains focused on national infrastructure development.
