The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has urged the people of Ebonyi State and the South-East to reciprocate President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to the region’s development by voting for him in the 2027 presidential election.
Umahi said the Federal Government’s investments in road infrastructure across the South-East had demonstrated Tinubu’s commitment to the region, urging residents to support his re-election bid.
He made the call while reacting to the massive turnout at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.
The Minister maintained that support for Tinubu was based on visible achievements and deliberate inclusion of the South-East in the country’s development agenda, rather than political sentiments.
According to him, strategic federal road projects across the region are transforming connectivity, stimulating economic activities and opening up communities to new opportunities.
He expressed confidence that the people of Ebonyi would demonstrate their appreciation for the President’s commitment through an overwhelming electoral victory for him in 2027.
Umahi 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 bond between the people of the state and the country’s leadership.
He commended the people of Ebonyi for their massive turnout, solidarity and continued commitment to the APC, urging them to consolidate what he described as the gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has remembered the South-East. We must reciprocate this uncommon commitment with our votes,” Umahi said.
