Minister of Works and former Ebonyi State governor, Dave Umahi, has expressed confidence that the South-East, particularly Ebonyi State, will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking on Saturday at the Ohanivo 2025 New Yam Festival in Onicha Local Government Area, Umahi dismissed the political weight of the Peter Obi-led Obidient Movement in the region.
“We are not Obidient people. We have been so marginalized that we are no longer Obidient. The man who has given us a sense of belonging is President Bola Tinubu. There is no Obidient person in Ebonyi State,” Umahi said.
The minister called on the people of the South-East to recognize what he described as Tinubu’s contributions to the region, stressing that they would not repeat what he termed the “mistakes” of the last election.
“What we must do is record the good things President Tinubu has done for the South-East and Ebonyi State. We will not be deceived again. The last election was a mistake, but we are now wiser,” he added.
