Umahi Says Ebonyi, South-East Back Tinubu, Cites Federal Infrastructure Projects
By Our reporter
Abakaliki (Core Reporters) Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has said that the massive turnout and show of support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, reflected the growing support for the President and his Renewed Hope Agenda in the South-East.
Umahi, who disclosed this in a statement following the rally, described the enthusiasm and solidarity displayed by the people as an indication of Ebonyi State’s support for the President.
He attributed the support to what he described as Tinubu’s commitment to the development of Ebonyi State and the South-East through massive federal road infrastructure investments.
According to him, strategic federal road projects across the region are improving connectivity, stimulating economic activities and opening up communities that have experienced infrastructural challenges.
The former Ebonyi State governor maintained that support for Tinubu was based on visible achievements and the deliberate inclusion of the South-East in the country’s development agenda rather than political sentiments.
Umahi expressed confidence that the people of Ebonyi State would demonstrate their appreciation for the Federal Government’s interventions during the 2027 presidential election.
He also congratulated Vice President Kashim Shettima on the conferment of the traditional title, Aka Ekpuchi Ọnwa, by the traditional institution in Ebonyi State.
He described the honour as a demonstration of the growing relationship between the people of the South-East and the country’s leadership.
The Minister thanked the people of Ebonyi State for their turnout and solidarity at the APC rally, urging them to sustain their support for the ruling party.
He said the Federal Government’s interventions in the South-East should be reciprocated through continued political support, calling on the people to consolidate the gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
