Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has broken silence on the allegation of sexual harassment by a woman simply identified as Tracy Nither Ohiri.
Addressing journalists on Saturday, Umahi said if it were Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan that said he is chasing her, his face would be bolder, adding that it is not anyhow person.
According to him, it is just for social media, stressing Nigerians should shift attention to the war in Iran and allow him to rest.
He was responding to critics who called him out for allegedly refusing to pay a woman who did a job for him because she refused his sexual advances.
“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.
“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.
“I owe nobody. 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.
“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.
