Minister of Works, David Umahi and President Bola Tinubu
Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, has expressed full support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027 from the South East Geo-political Zone.
Speaking to journalists in Lagos, Umahi praised Tinubu’s achievements, saying: “President Tinubu may not be perfect, but he is doing most things right.”
Umahi dismissed claims that the South East was giving conditions, such as the release of Nnamdi Kanu, to support the President.
“We are willing to negotiate his release, but no one should make it a condition because the President did not put him there,” he said.
The minister highlighted key infrastructure projects being delivered by the current administration in the South East, including road rehabilitation.
“Look at where he picked up the economy from. The international community has confidence in his reforms,” Umahi said.
Umahi also denied having presidential ambitions in 2027, saying: “I will not run. I will work for my boss, President Tinubu. APC is the path to achieving what we want.”
