“South-East won’t vote for Tinubu” — ADC fires back at Umahi over projects threat

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Enugu State has declared that the South-East will not support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.

It also dismissed alleged comments attributed to the Minister of Works, David Umahi, suggesting that the region could lose federal infrastructure projects if it fails to back the President as reported by Vanguard.

The party challenged Umahi to “do his worst,” insisting that no form of intimidation or political pressure would influence the voting choices of the South-East electorate.

The controversy follows remarks reportedly made by Umahi during an inspection of federal road and bridge projects in Ebonyi State.

He was said to have urged the region to support Tinubu’s re-election or risk losing ongoing federal projects. He also claimed that the South-East had regained political relevance under the current administration.
