2026: Tinubu has given Ndigbo Biafra they seek – Umahi
The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi has restated his earlier stance that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has given Ndigbo the Biafra they have been seeking for.
According to him, Tinubu was able to achieve that through their absolute inclusion into the national politics even as he foresees year 2026 as year of restoration.
Senator Umahi in his New Year message emphasized that the worst period of our nationhood is over through robust economic policies of the present administration, adding that the coming year shall witness massive turnaround in all sectors.
He urged the people of the South East to remain resolute in their support for President Tinubu’s reelection on the ground that the President is a consolation to Ndigbo on the years of neglect and marginalization.
Umahi further expressed optimism that the people of the region shall rewrite the wrong of 2023 general election and shall speak loudly in unison in massive votes for President Tinubu whom he said has resolved the criminal marginalization of the region by successive administrations.
“Our people will never make the mistake of 2023. We shall remain resolute and stand strongly together behind Mr. President in 2027 election. Ndigbo will not be decieveed again by marauding politicians with sugarcoated mouths. One of our brothers is already saying that in 2027 that he will be on the ballot but I’m here telling Ndigbo that President Tinubu will be on the ballot and once he’s on the ballot, all the Governors of the South East are on the ballot and myself, the Minister of Works is also on the ballot because it is our collective interest to support Mr. President, a man who has reopened our chapter and is massively investing in our future. Indeed, the Biafra is here”
He called for social reengineering and deradicalization of the remaining minds to understand that the Biafra Ndigbo fought, sought and are still seeking for has come through national integration and acceptance to be equal partakers in national development.
The Minister assured that all the federal road infrastructure going on simultaneously in every region of the country are receiving adequate funding and supervision, assuring that most of the roads will be completed on record time and in specifications.
He said a special task force will be formed to enforce strict compliance with the directive that no truck shall be allowed to park on the Federal highways, adding that the Ministry of Works will work in collaboration with security agencies to make the federal highway safe for travelers who will be returning to their destinations after the yuletide.
