The President must be re-elected by the power of God. Those in support say ‘hi’,” Umahi added. The minister highlighted Tinubu’s contributions to the South-East since assuming office in 2023, emphasizing that the region stands firmly behind him. According to Umahi, the administration has initiated several federal projects in the South-East and other regions, demonstrating its commitment to national development. As a former two-term governor of Ebonyi State, Umahi declared that Igbos would support Tinubu’s re-election bid and deliver an overwhelming majority of votes in 2027. “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is going to have 99 per cent of the votes of the South-East because he has been very nice to the people of the South-East. They will leave South-West to give us 99.99% (in) 2027,” he asserted. Umahi dismissed any claims of sabotage against the administration, pointing out that ongoing infrastructure projects—such as the Enugu-Abakaliki road and Afikpo-Abia-Okigwe route—underscore the government’s commitment to the region.
The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has expressed strong confidence that President Bola Tinubu will complete two terms in office, securing re-election in 2027.
