  David Umahi Urges Southeast to Reject Obi, Back Tinubu

  Minister of Works Senator David Umahi has publicly advised Nigerians and the people of the Southeast against voting for Peter Obi, throwing his full support behind President Bola Tinubu’s potential re-election bid.

  • Focus on Infrastructure: Speaking during an inspection of the Trans-Saharan Highway and Cross River–Abuja legacy projects, Umahi credited Tinubu’s administration with impactful infrastructure developments in the Southeast.

  • No Risk on Abandoned Projects: Umahi warned against taking risks with alternative candidates, arguing that changing leadership often leads to a cycle of abandoned projects, whereas Tinubu’s administration is committed to completion.

  • Key Progress Highlighted: He pointed to the Enugu-Onitsha expressway—slated for full completion with solar lighting, tree planting, and security tolling by December—as a major success story under the current government.

  • Response to Critics: Addressing backlash over his remarks, Umahi stated that he welcomes the criticism because it proves his work is drawing attention, clarifying that his opposition is strictly electoral rather than personal.
