He used the occasion to commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and express confidence in Governor Nwifuru’s leadership as well.
“Before now, there were no federal projects in Ebonyi,” Umahi said. “What we have now under this administration is remarkable. Though some claim we have many projects, it is not more than what other states have. The difference is that our projects are smaller and spread across the state, whereas other states have longer roads.”
He called also on Ebonyi residents to continue supporting and praying for President Tinubu. “I want Ebonyi people to pray for Mr. President. He has favored us, and we will prove to him that we appreciate his love for us,” he said.
Umahi also reaffirmed Ebonyi State’s loyalty the president, stating: “If there’s any state where the president does not need to campaign for votes, it’s Ebonyi. We are number one in the Southeast, and we will prove it.”
