The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has stated that President Bola Tinubu is using him to improve the Southeast.
He argued that when the presidency is zoned to the South-East, he deserves to be at the forefront because of his performance.
The minister made the remark in a video shared by @peopleofebonyi_, Ebonyi 1st Choice News Media on Instagram on Sunday.
According to him, all South-East governors are backing President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Umahi said, “All the governors of the South-East are supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second term.
“When the presidency comes to the South East, I should be at the forefront because of my performance. God used me to better Ebonyi State, and Tinubu is using me to better the South East.”
Umahi’s declaration comes almost two months after he announced that political leaders in the South-East are planning a summit to declare their support for President Tinubu.
In May, the minister, in a State House documentary packaged to commemorate President Tinubu’s second anniversary, declared that all South-east governors, regardless of their political affiliations, support President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
According to Umahi, the South-East is witnessing a new wave of federal attention and infrastructure development under President Tinubu.
