Minister of Works, David Umahi, has insisted that the people of South-East will not vote on sentiment as it did during the last general election.
Umahi who stated this on Tuesday, added that Igbos will vote massively for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State in the 2027 general election.
He maintained that the region’s interests are better secured through strategy, unity and constructive engagement rather than sentiments.
The Minister stated this at his country home in Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, while receiving various political, religious and community groups who paid him a Christmas homage.
Addressing the gathering, the former Ebonyi State governor said the South-East has no reason to deceive itself about its political choices, emphasising that President Tinubu has demonstrated commitment to the development of the region through major infrastructure projects.
Highlighting various ongoing federal projects as evidence of inclusion of the region, Umahi declared that real projects are going on in the zone.
He listed the Second Niger Bridge, the Enugu–Onitsha (Nnewi) Road, the Owerri–Aba Road, and other major highways across the region as tangible achievements of the Tinubu administration, describing them as the real Biafra the people should focus on.
The Minister stressed that Nigeria is built on a tripod and warned against any action that would weaken one leg of the nation.
He noted that the South-East has been marginalised historically but argued that such marginalisation can only be addressed through wisdom, political strategy and national engagement.
The minister called on the people South-East and across the country to obey the laws and cultures of their host communities, urging them to remain humble, courageous and law-abiding wherever they reside.
