CSOs, Northern Youth reject calls for Umahi's resignation

The Coalition of Civil Societies for Good Governance (CCSGG) and the Northern Youth Association of Nigeria (NYAN) have rejected calls for the resignation of Works Minister David Umahi over the death of 26-year-old nurse Mary Habila, who died on June 27, 2026 at his residence. At a press conference in Abuja, NYAN president Godiya T. Adams Bogoro called for a thorough and impartial investigation while denouncing media trials. The coalition argued that demanding a minister's resignation based solely on allegations would set a dangerous precedent.
