ABUJA – The Minister of Works, David Umahi, said President Bola Tinubu has performed well for the South-East and will be voted for in 2027.
Speaking at a news briefing on Wednesday, Umahi praised the president’s inclusive governance and massive infrastructural investments in the zone, which had been historically excluded.
He stressed that South-East leaders should allow Tinubu to complete his tenure before agitating for their own political ambitions, adding that current inclusion is a step toward addressing past marginalization.
Umahi listed several key projects in the region, including the Army Training Depot in Ebonyi State, the Enyimba Power Plant, major roads and bridges, and appointments of strategic security chiefs from the South-East.
He rejected allegations of procurement violations in federal projects, stressing that all due processes, including Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA), stakeholder engagements, and international evaluations, were followed.
“The South-East is better in Nigeria. President Bola Tinubu has done very well for the region, and we will vote for him in 2027,” Umahi concluded.
