Umahi Criticizes 2023 Election Outcome, Calls for Southeast Support in 2027
During the Ohanivo 2025 New Yam Festival in Ebonyi, former Governor Umahi criticized the Southeast's support for Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election, labeling it a mistake due to the region's marginalization. Umahi expressed dissatisfaction with the influence of the OBIdient Movement in the region and called for a shift in allegiance towards President Tinubu.
He urged the Southeast to reciprocate Tinubu's goodwill by voting in large numbers in the 2027 election, hinting at a change in political dynamics. Umahi's remarks reflect a growing political realignment in the Southeast and a call for increased regional participation in national politics.
