Umahi Guarantees APC Campaign Funding Ahead of 2027 Elections

On September 28, 2026, at the grand finale of the 2026 Ohanivo New Yam Festival in Oshiri, Ebonyi State, Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, declared that financial constraints would not impede the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign for the 2027 general elections. Umahi stated he has more than 5,000 billionaire friends willing to support the party's mobilization efforts.

He reassured that the APC should not worry about finances as it prepares to rally support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Francis Nwifuru, and Senator Anthony Ani (Ebonyi South). Umahi outlined plans for grassroots campaigning, encouraging supporters to canvass votes by going door-to-door.

He emphasized the importance of allowing opposition parties to campaign freely and warned against actions that could escalate political tensions, such as the destruction of campaign materials. Umahi committed to collaborating with Governor Nwifuru for the next eight years.
