David Umahi, minister of works, says the south-east geopolitical zone will deliver 90 percent of its votes to President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Umahi spoke on Saturday during an inspection tour of the Alaoji axis of the Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway.
The minister said it is not yet the turn of the south-east to produce Nigeria’s president and urged the zone to be strategic in its political decisions.
He commended Tinubu for “legacy projects” in the region and warned that failure to support the president would be detrimental to the south-east.
The minister said ongoing road projects from Port Harcourt to Enugu show the scale of federal presence in the region, noting that the south-east has never benefited as much in Nigeria’s history.
