Umahi Commends Tinubu's Support for South-East Development

David Umahi, the Minister of Works, stated that no other President has provided the level of support to the South-East as President Bola Tinubu has. He emphasized that the Federal Government has initiated various projects and made significant appointments that reflect the inclusion of the South-East region.

Umahi made these remarks on Tuesday while receiving a report from the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) regarding their tour of federal roads across Nigeria. He asserted that if Nigerians are well educated, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, will receive fewer votes in the upcoming 2027 presidential election, claiming that "the more we educate our people, the less votes Peter Obi will get." Umahi urged Igbo leaders to inform the South-East populace about President Tinubu's achievements in the region, advocating for a more vocal and bold approach from these leaders.
