Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has responded to allegations of s£xual harassment levelled against him.
Umahi spoke with journalists on Saturday, Feb. 28, following claims by a woman who said he subjected her to s£xual harassment.
Umahi said in response that he does not owe anyone and has never harassed any person during his years in public office.
“I want to thank a lot of you who know me very well. I owe nobody. And of course, I presided over both men and women, and nobody ever said I harassed him or her,” he said.
Umahi added: “I was governor for eight years, and I did fantastic infrastructure. So nobody could come and accuse me wrongly unless the person is being mischievous.”
He continued: “There is nothing wrong to say, oh, you are chasing a woman. If it’s Senator Natasha that said I’m chasing her, my face would be bolder, not anyhow person that’ll accuse this handsome man of chasing her for 12 years.”
He further described the controversy as a social media issue and urged Nigerians to focus on global developments instead.
“It’s just for social media, but I think we can turn our attention to the war in Iran and allow Umahi to rest,” he said.
