The Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, has declared that Ebonyi State’s support for President Bola Tinubu remains firm ahead of the 2027 general elections, attributing the backing to the Federal Government’s infrastructure investments in the South-East.
Umahi stated this while reacting to the massive turnout at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, where he said residents demonstrated solidarity with the President and his Renewed Hope Agenda.
The minister said the Federal Government’s commitment to road infrastructure development in Ebonyi and other parts of the South-East had opened a new chapter of development in the region.
According to him, strategic federal road projects are improving connectivity, stimulating economic activities and opening up communities across the region.
He maintained that support for Tinubu was based on what he described as 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 would demonstrate their appreciation for the Federal Government’s interventions during the 2027 presidential election.
He also celebrated the conferment of the traditional title, Aka Ekpuchi Ọnwa, on Vice-President Kashim Shettima by traditional rulers in Ebonyi State.
The minister described the recognition as a demonstration of the growing relationship between the people of the South-East and the country’s leadership.
He commended residents of Ebonyi State for their turnout and solidarity at the APC rally, urging them to sustain their support for the party.
Umahi said the South-East had benefited from the Tinubu administration’s commitment to infrastructure development, calling on the people to reciprocate the Federal Government’s efforts through their votes in 2027.
