Ebonyi South Senator, Dave Umahi has said President Bola Tinubu is solely responsible for his nomination as minister from his state.

The former Ebonyi Governor has promised to work hard to justify the trust and belief the President has reposed in him adding that he has no idea the ministry he will lead.

He spoke to pressmen in Abakaliki after he was received by Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State.

The former governor said he owed profound appreciation to President Tinubu for “fulfilling his promise during the trying period”.

According to Umahi: “My governor (Nwifuru) should be happy because he wished for it.

“I will work with the president to ensure that all promises he made are kept.

“I cannot determine the particular ministry to head but I will justify the Ebonyi character of resourcefulness and exceptionality.”
