Loquacious Minister of Works, and former Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, has boasted that the South-East, and Ebonyi State in particular, will not remain obidient but will vote for President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Umahi who was speaking this Saturday, 27/9/25, during the Ohanivo 2025 New Yam Festival in Onicha LGA of Ebonyi State declared that there is no space for the Peter Obi-led Obidient Movement in Ebonyi State.
According to him, “the South-East has been so marginalized that the region is no longer Obidient.
“We are not Obidient people. We have been so marginalized that we are no longer Obidient. No, we are not.
“But it is the man that has given us a sense of belonging, President Bola Tinubu. Let it not be that we are from Ebonyi State and they are saying this state belongs to us. There is no Obidient person in Ebonyi State.”
Continuing in his unprovoked attack on Peter Obi, the Minister insisted that the South-East, and the state, will not be ‘deceived again’ in 2027, but will reciprocate good gestures of President Tinubu.
“What we have to do is to record the good things that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has done for South-East and Ebonyi State when the time comes.
“We will not be deceived again because the last election was a mistake but we have come to be wiser. I will not finish naming all that the President is doing for us,” he pointed out.
