Minister of Works, David Umahi, has said Ebonyi State will give 95% votes to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in next year’s general election.
He said he will work with Governor Francis Nwifuru for the
massive votes for the President during the election.
Umahi stated this while inspecting the ongoing construction
of Abaomoge/Akpoha/Afikpo road in the state.
The Minister said no President can execute the magnitude of
projects Tinubu is executing in the state and the entire South East, urging
South East leaders to boldly support Tinubu’s re-election.
Umahi, a former governor of Ebonyi State, opined that the
state will carry out aggressive campaigns for the President to reward him for
what he has done in the state.
“I use this opportunity to ask our leaders to come out and
speak out, you know, because we shouted marginalisation, but now we are not
marginalised by the President.
“Let me tell you, there’s no other ministry in this
administration that is as big as the Ministry of Works, and it’s being handled
by an Igbo man, so what a trust, you know, and without the Ministry of Works
being an Igbo man, maybe we have some projects, but it will not be this
magnitude.
“And so, I think that the President is very strategic, you
know, in getting Southeast people to the mainstream of Nigerian politics, and
so we have to be wise.
“I have not even started shouting about the good things that
the President is doing in the Southeast. I’m ready to engage anybody; let the
person tell me who else would have done this, if not the President.
“You see, in this
Ebonyi, working with Governor Nwifuru, we will shock the nation, because we
will deliver 95% of our votes to Tinubu; we have no reason to give it to any
other person. Let the President tell us what he has done for the Ebonyi people,
and we shall vote otherwise. The last general election was an accident of
history, and it will not repeat itself.
“We are going to
mount a very serious campaign to let our people, the young ones, the elites
know that this is our chance, this is our time, and if we strategically and
constructively engage, then our time is coming, and you know, when that time
comes, when I say this is our time, it’s our time to get wiser, and then work
with the President, and that will quicken our time, and nobody will stop us”,
he said
