A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South East, Nwafor Nwali, has claimed that Works Minister, Dave Umahi is deceiving President Bola Tinubu, asserting that the president cannot get the votes of Ndi Igbo in 2027.
Nwali said the Umahi’s statement that the South East governors are working for Tinubu’s re-election is deceptive.
Speaking on Wednesday in Abakalili, Nwali, who is the Ebonyi State PDP Publicity Secretary, described Umahi’s statement as baseless.
He stated that PDP governors in the South East cannot work for Tinubu’s re-election. “David Umahi’s claims are baseless, unsubstantiated and lack merit,” he said.
The PDP chieftain recalled that Umahi had earlier said Ndi Igbo would vote for Tinubu, adding that the minister prefers to deceive the president about his chances in 2027.
“For clarity, Bola Tinubu (president of Nigeria) failed woefully in all ramifications, especially on security, infrastructure, education and manpower development.

“I doubt he (Umahi) has any information; if you can remember, David Umahi has made countless allegations that he could not prove, in a bid to deceive Bola Tinubu for his personal gains.
“Umahi is motivated by personal gains, not for the interest of Ndi Igbo,” he stated.
He assured Ndi Igbo that the PDP would come back stronger in 2027 to protect their interests.
“May I use this medium to urge Ndi Igbo to keep faith with the PDP as the only credible opposition.
“As leaders of the party in the zone, we will do everything within the ambit of the law to rebuild and strengthen the PDP for the 2027 general elections.
“We will offer Nigerians people-oriented policies and programmes, and salvage the current quagmire orchestrated by the ruling All Progressives Congress,” the Ebonyi PDP spokesman added.
