Dave Umahi, the Minister of Works, disclosed that President Bola Tinubu has approved more projects in the Southeast region of the nation than any of his predecessors.

He emphasized that, in light of this, the President merits their full support in the upcoming 2027 elections as a form of gratitude.

Umahi made these remarks on Monday while assessing the progress of the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the Umuahia-Aba Section II of the 56.10 km Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, noting that the road is expected to be inaugurated in June 2025.

He highlighted that the President has allocated sufficient funds for the road project, as outlined in the 2024 and 2025 budgets, and mentioned that the remaining 2 km of earthwork and 4 km of asphalt work are scheduled for completion by June, leading to the road’s inauguration.

“The entire South East must give Mr President 100% of their votes in the 2027 elections to appreciate him.

“I am the one that is fit to ask for your votes because he has used me to work for you.

“What happened before will not happen again. God was speaking but a lot of our Christian brothers would not hear,” said Umahi.
