Senator David Umahi, Minister of Works, has declared that the people of Southeast region have no political alternative than the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the nation approaches the 2027 election.
He urged youths and stakeholders across the zone to embark
on massive registration into the ruling party to secure the region’s political
future.
Umahi made the call at his country residence in Umunaga
Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area, Ebonyi State, where he addressed APC
supporters and stakeholders following the party’s primary election victory of
his son, Osborne Nweze Umahi, as the chairmanship candidate for Ohaozara LGA.
The minister described the APC as the only platform capable
of delivering sustainable development, political inclusion, and national
representation for the Southeast, warning that the region cannot afford to
remain politically isolated.
“Let everybody go and register in APC. There is no
alternative,” Umahi said, urging a concerted membership drive across all
Southeast states.
He also commended President Bola Tinubu for his
administration’s efforts to address longstanding grievances in the region,
particularly the agitation for secession, which he said was born out of years
of neglect.
“The President has defied all the agitation from Biafra. We
are not living on sentiments,” he stated, insisting that political advancement
for the Southeast cannot be achieved through emotional rhetoric or
intimidation.
Umahi emphasized that the region must focus on concrete
achievements and participation in national politics rather than resorting to
protest and agitation.
He said the current administration had begun correcting
historical imbalances, adding that the Southeast would eventually produce a
credible presidential candidate when the time is right.
“The time of God is the right time,” Umahi said, urging the
Southeast to remain patient and united under the APC platform.
The minister also defended the federal government’s road
infrastructure projects, describing them as transformational and essential to
national development.
He dismissed criticisms and protests over road conditions,
saying such actions should be directed towards constructive engagement rather
than political blackmail.
