Umahi Urges South-East Leaders to Reduce Obi's Votes

David Umahi, the Minister of Works, asserted that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, will not win the 2027 presidential election. Speaking in Abuja while receiving a report from the National Association of Nigerian Students on federal roads, Umahi encouraged South-East leaders to educate the populace about President Bola Tinubu's contributions to the Igbo community.
He emphasized that increased awareness would lead to fewer votes for Obi. Umahi praised Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo for his support of Tinubu and urged Nigerians to refrain from insulting Igbo leaders who back the Tinubu administration.
He stated, “The more we educate our people, the less votes Peter Obi will get. It is important for the leaders of the South-East to be bold, vocal and speak to our people, the Igbos, about what President Tinubu has done and is doing for the Igbos.”.
