Umahi said the Southeast region is no longer marginalized and now has active representation in the current administration. He highlighted key positions held by the region, including his role as Minister of Works and the appointment of two service chiefs.
“God has spoken to me that His mighty hands are upon President Bola Tinubu. Our people must be strategic. The marginalization we’re talking about is over. For the first time, we’re in the helm of affairs,” Umahi said.
While acknowledging the Southeast’s aspiration to produce a future president, he stressed the importance of supporting the current administration. He also claimed that governors in the region back Tinubu’s leadership.
Umahi urged political leaders in the Southeast to openly declare their support and mobilize constituents. “I want to plead with Southeast leaders to be bold in convincing our people on the need to vote for Mr President. If you’re a leader in the Southeast and you’re not vocal in the declaration, then you’re not for us,” he said.
