CSOs, Northern Youth reject calls for Umahi’s resignation

A coalition of civil societies and the Northern Youth Association of Nigeria (NYAN) has rejected calls for the resignation of Minister of Works, Engr. David Nweze Umahi, following allegations linking him to the death of 26-year-old nurse Mary Habila. The incident occurred on June 27, 2026, at Umahi's private residence in Uburu, Ebonyi State. During a press conference in Abuja, NYAN President Comrade Godiya T. Adams Bogoro emphasized the need for a thorough, transparent, and impartial investigation into the circumstances of Habila's death. The coalition expressed condolences to the victim's family and condemned efforts to demand Umahi's resignation before the investigation concludes, warning that such actions could undermine the justice system and set a dangerous precedent. They stressed the importance of allowing law enforcement agencies to complete their investigation before drawing any conclusions.
