Minister of Works, David Umahi, has declared that no Nigerian president has matched the level of inclusion and development President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is bringing to the South-East.
Speaking on Tuesday while receiving a report from the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) on its tour of federal roads, Umahi highlighted both infrastructure projects and political appointments as evidence of Tinubu’s commitment to the region.
“No other President has done what President Tinubu has done for the South-East, whether by appointment, inclusion or projects,” Umahi said.
He urged Igbo leaders to educate their communities about Tinubu’s achievements, stressing the importance of countering divisive rhetoric ahead of the 2027 elections.
Umahi also dismissed the chances of Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), in the forthcoming polls.
“The more we educate our people, the less votes Peter Obi will get. Peter Obi cannot win in 2027,” he asserted.
The minister called on South-East leaders to be “bold and vocal” in acknowledging Tinubu’s contributions, adding that the administration’s projects in the region demonstrate genuine inclusion.
Umahi, a former governor of Ebonyi State, has been a vocal defender of Tinubu’s policies, positioning the president’s record in the South-East as a key talking point ahead of the January 2027 elections.
