The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has expressed confidence that Ebonyi State will deliver an overwhelming electoral victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, citing the President’s commitment to infrastructure development and the inclusion of the South-East in the national development agenda.
Umahi stated this while reacting to the massive turnout and show of support for President Tinubu at the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Rally held in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.
He described the enthusiastic reception accorded the President as evidence of the state’s unwavering support for the Renewed Hope Agenda, declaring that Ebonyi remained united in its commitment to the President’s re-election.
The Minister expressed appreciation to President Tinubu for what he described as unprecedented commitment to the development of Ebonyi State and the South-East through massive federal road infrastructure investments.
According to him, the strategic road projects being executed across the region are transforming connectivity, stimulating economic activities and opening up communities to greater opportunities.
Umahi maintained that the South-East’s support for President Tinubu was driven by visible achievements rather than political sentiments, noting that the region was experiencing a new phase of infrastructural development under the present administration.
He expressed confidence that the people of Ebonyi would reciprocate the President’s commitment to the region by giving him overwhelming votes in the 2027 general election.
The Minister also celebrated the conferment of the traditional title, Aka Ekpuchi Ọnwa, on Vice President Kashim Shettima by the traditional institution in Ebonyi State, describing it as a demonstration of the growing relationship between the people of the state and the country’s leadership.
He commended the people of Ebonyi State for their massive turnout, solidarity and continued commitment to the APC, urging them to sustain their support for the Tinubu administration.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has remembered the South-East. We must reciprocate this uncommon commitment with our votes,” Umahi said.
