Works Minister, Senator David Umahi has said that Ebonyi State is totally for APC, insisting that citizens of the State are not for obidients, even as they stand solidly on the mandate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2027 general elections.
The Minister made remarks on Saturday at Umunaga ward during APC presidential primary election in Ohaozara Local Government Area of the State.
He noted that five thousand and nine (5,009) party members turned out at the ward to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the party’s candidate come 2027 general elections, describing it as a show of people’s trust and confidence in the President.
Umahi described Ebonyi State as a stronghold of the All Progressives Congress (APC), stressing that the people had resolved to demonstrate total loyalty and support for President Tinubu and the ruling party.
According to him “Ebonyi State is totally for APC. We are only APC,” Umahi declared, adding that there was no other political party in Ohaozara Local Government Area apart from the APC.
He said the massive turnout of party members demonstrated the people’s appreciation for Tinubu’s administration, especially for the appointments and infrastructure projects being executed across the South-East region.
Senator Umahi hinted that President Tinubu has integrated the South-East into national politics through key appointments and developmental projects.
“Bola Tinubu is the Biafra we have been looking for. A man who has integrated the entire South-East, given us juicy appointments and very important infrastructure,” he said.
Speaking on the economic reforms introduced by the Tinubu administration, Umahi acknowledged the difficulties Nigerians initially faced but insisted that the policies had stabilized the nation’s economy.
“I laugh when people talk about the hardship caused by the reforms. Nobody has been able to say where Nigeria would have been without them,” he stated.
He maintained that the country had passed through the most difficult phase, expressing optimism that the benefits of the reforms would soon reach ordinary Nigerians at the grassroots.
“The macro-economy is stable and the President is now taking it down to the micro-economy. The worst is over and Nigerians will soon begin to see the benefits,” Umahi added.
He also commended the Federal Government’s ongoing road and bridge projects across the country, saying they were clear signs that the administration was reclaiming and rebuilding critical infrastructure nationwide.
Umahi expressed deep confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would completely address Nigeria’s insecurity challenges within the next five years if given another mandate
