Peter Obi Will Secure Votes In South East – Umahi

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, on Friday, said the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, would garner a significant number of votes from the South-East.

The former presidential aspirant, who described himself as a loyal party man rooting for the All Progressive Congress’ win in the 2023 presidential election, said Obi’s political movement would be an effective harbinger for an Igbo presidency.

However, the movement will not “translate into an outright win”. Umahi revealed this to State House Correspondents shortly after a private visit to the President Muhammadu Buhari, at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

The visit, he said, is to invite Buhari to commission the new N1.2bn Ebonyi State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja in mid-October.

Feilding a question about his earlier reservations following his loss at the APC presidential primaries and his demand for a president of Southeast extraction in 2023, Umahi described the Obi Movement as an eye opener showing that the South East would not be forgotten in Nigeria’s politics.
