The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, says Peter Obi will be alive to contest the 2027 presidential election and lose.
In a recent interview, Obi alleged that there are threats to his life and doesn’t know if he will be alive to contest the 2027 presidential election.
According to ThisDay, the Minister, while inspecting federal road projects in Ebonyi State on Friday, July 10, described Obi’s claim as a sign of frustration, insisting that no one is interested in harming him.
“Nobody wants Obi de@d. It’s not just reasonable. We all want him alive to contest this election and watch himself lose again,” he said.
The minister said Obi’s concern stemmed from the belief that the South-East remains his political stronghold following the 2023 election.
“What he is afraid of is because he said south-east is his catchment area because of the last election, which I call an accident of history,” Umahi said.
The ex-Ebonyi governor stated that President Bola Tinubu’s infrastructure projects and appointments in the south-east have changed the region’s political outlook.
“We have come with visible development in the zone, and our people have now agreed with us that we are better off with President Tinubu to complete the good works he is doing for us than playing Artificial Intelligence (AI) kind of politics,” he said
