Minister of Works, David Umahi, has declared his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying he will campaign and vote for the President in the 2027 election.
Speaking in Okigwe, Imo State, during an inspection of the ongoing 65-kilometre Afikpo–Uturu–Okigwe Federal Road, Umahi said the Tinubu administration had demonstrated commitment to infrastructure development in the Southeast.
“I won’t vote for Obi, but Tinubu. Is that a crime?”
Umahi said the Southeast would massively support Tinubu because of the road projects and other developments currently ongoing across the region.
He also highlighted the Federal Government’s plan to remove a 60-metre-high mountain obstructing a critical section of the Afikpo–Uturu–Okigwe road, describing the project as a major step toward reducing accidents and saving lives.
According to the minister, more than 20 kilometres of the 65-kilometre road have already been completed.
The project is being executed under the Federal Government’s tax-credit scheme, with Dangote Industries Limited as the sponsoring company and Hi-Tech Construction as the contractor.
What do you think about Umahi’s position?
