Umahi denied the N200M during the 2014 Governor’s campaign

Minister of Work, Dave Umahi, on Thursday denied because a businessman, Ny. Tracyn, Ohiri, N200 million for the promotional material he installed during the 2014 Governor’s campaign.

Umahi denied the accusation when asking questions from journalists during his tour on the bridge of independence in Lagos.

He said: “When I left the office and later became a minister, he would say that I owed the N200 million in 2014.

“All elections in 2014 for me to become governors did not burden me until the N100 million; So, how did the campaign material become the N200 million?”

He challenged Ohiri to provide any proof of contract, proof of withdrawn funds, and bank reports to support his claims.

“Where did the contract papers come from? Where did you withdraw money? Can you issue your account where you withdraw the money?

“At least, you will use the N150 million. Can you publish it?

“I think that woman is sponsored. I saw what she did to the other three governors.

“I thought it was a mental case, so I didn’t bother, but I thought some people who had punished me that we destroyed their property, protested, had bought this problem.

“That is why I will legally teach anyone sponsors a few lessons,” he added.

The minister said he had instructed his lawyer to start a legal process against Ohiri.

In the alleged sexual harassment, Umahi said that there was nothing like that.

He expressed concern over the potential implications of the accusation.
