In another development, Jide Ojo, a veteran analyst and columnist, says President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may appoint former Governors Dave Umahi of Ebonyi state or Nyesom Wike of Rivers state as minister of works.

He said:

"So the point is, it's a hard call for me to say. I feel Dave Umahi should be made the minister of works, given the enormous work he did in his state."
