Southeast Presidency Will Be Achieved Via Collaboration, Not Sentiment – Umahi

Dave Umahi

The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has said that the Southeast region can only produce a credible presidential candidate through collaboration, development and unity. He recently had his say while addressing All Progressives Congress (APC) delegates and supporters after his son, Osborne Umahi, emerged as the party’s candidate for the Chairmanship of Ohaozara Local Government Area in the upcoming August elections.

According to him, the historical agitation for Biafra was born out of neglect, but the ongoing infrastructural developments under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are bringing attention and progress to the region.

He added that a competent and respected individual should emerge through unity, not sentiment, intimidation or hate.

His words, “The Southeast cannot become president by sentiments, by blackmail, by hate or intimidation. Some people talk without even understanding what they are talking about.

For me, at night, President Tinubu is lighting up our Southeast roads. You don’t even need a torchlight to see what is being done in Biafra land and our rural areas.

I align myself with my son’s programme of opening all the roads in villages, connecting farmlands and markets, establishing agricultural clusters, and empowering the youths.”

WOW.
