- Umahi believes that backing Tinubu is beneficial for the Igbo people.
- He emphasizes his commitment to encouraging voters in the South-East to support the President.
Minister of Works, David Umahi, has said he will continue urging people from the South-East to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu instead of Peter Obi in future elections.
Speaking during a public appearance, Umahi declared that he believes backing Tinubu is the right decision for the Igbo people. According to him, he will not stop encouraging voters in the region to support the President.
“I will continue to tell the Igbos not to vote Peter Obi but vote President Tinubu because it’s the right decision to make,” Umahi said.
The minister’s remark has since sparked conversations on social media, with many Nigerians sharing differing opinions over his statement and the political future of the South-East.
Umahi, a former governor of Ebonyi State, has remained one of the prominent political figures from the region supporting the Tinubu administration, while Peter Obi continues to enjoy significant support among many voters in the South-East.
The statement has further fueled debate ahead of Nigeria’s evolving political landscape, as discussions around regional loyalty and national leadership continue to dominate public discourse.
