Works minister David Umahi has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will win the five South-East states in the 2027 presidential election. TheCable reports that he made the comments on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme.
Umahi urged the region to build political relationships across Nigeria and said he was working to explain his case to voters. He also argued that federal appointments and infrastructure under Tinubu had improved the region’s position. Those assessments and the electoral prediction are the minister’s political views. They are not an election result, an independent opinion poll or evidence that voters have already made their choice. The original report contains his wider remarks.
