2027: There’s no presidential candidate in the South-East, says Umahi

Works Minister David Umahi told a town hall meeting in Abakaliki that the South-East had no presidential candidate for the 2027 election, dismissing Peter Obi as “nobody.” He urged residents of Ebonyi State and the wider region to support President Bola Tinubu for another term, arguing that doing so could help the South-East secure the presidency when its turn comes. Umahi also called on religious and traditional leaders to openly back Tinubu and said the region was now integrated into the federal government.
