The Minister of works, Dave Umahi, has said that the South-East will produce Nigeria’s President someday but not in the 2027 elections.
Umahi, who said this in a statement, appealed to people of
the zone to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
He was said to be responding to an online publication
titled, ‘The Politics of Asphalt: Why is the South East Missing from the Map?’.
The minister described the report as misleading and
inaccurate, stressing that it aimed to portray the Tinubu administration as
sidelining the South-East in infrastructure development.
“I understand that politics is now in the air and the chosen
path by some persons is to deceive unsuspecting members of the public, look
good before the people as one fighting for them and close both eyes
pretentiously over the great and selfless infrastructure development Mr.
President is doing all over the nation,” the statement reads.
According to the immediate past governor of Ebonyi State, he
has mandated all the regional directors of the Ministry of Works back to site
across the country to compile inherited but ongoing projects and new projects
for Nigerians to appreciate the “huge works” that Tinubu is doing irrespective
of who voted or did not vote for him.
The minister stated further that Tinubu is using “fair
distribution of infrastructure to reunite Nigerians and renew their hope”,
adding that “only those who open their eyes will see the light of change in
Nigeria”.
