Dave Umahi, the minister of works, announced on Saturday that President Bola Tinubu instead of Peter Obi will be elected in 2027 in the South-East, specifically in Ebonyi State.
Umahi made the announcement while also stressing that there is no space for the Peter Obi-led Obidient Movement in Ebonyi State.
The minister, also former Ebonyi State governor, made this disclosure during the state’s Onicha LGA’s Ohanivo 2025 New Yam Festival.
According to Umahi claims that the South-East is no longer Obedient because of its extreme marginalisation.
He said: “We are not Obidient people. We have been so marginalized that we are no longer Obidient. No, we are not.
“But it is the man that has given us a sense of belonging, President Bola Tinubu. Let it not be that we are from Ebonyi State and they are saying this state belongs to us. There is no Obidient person in Ebonyi State.”
According to Umahi, the South-East, and Ebonyi State specifically, will vote for Tinubu in 2027 in return for his good actions.
He emphasised that in 2027, the state and the South-East would not be “deceived again.”
“What we have to do is to record the good things that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has done for South-East and Ebonyi State when the time comes.
“We will not be deceived again because the last election was a mistake but we have come to be wiser. I will not finish naming all that the President is doing for us,” he added.
