Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi has stated that Igbos will vote for the All Progressives Congress and its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu. Because of the Second Niger Bridge built by the President’s administration, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, in the upcoming presidential election (retd.).
Umahi stated this on Tuesday at the APC South-East grand finale rally in Owerri.
According to the Governor, the Igbos will vote APC back into power because they are grateful for the accomplishments of Buhari’s administration.
Umahi said;
Igbo people will vote for the APC because of the Second Niger Bridge constructed by President Buhari’s administration.
Also speaking at the event, the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, also assured the party that his state would deliver for the APC in the February 25 presidential election.
Uzodimma said;
Imo people are grateful to Mr President. We sought your support for building of roads and fighting insecurity in Imo State and you approved (them). It is time to reciprocate that support by voting for the APC.
Tinubu, while speaking at the rally, promised that if he is elected into power, his administration would continue the developmental programmes of the President.
Tinubu said;
The PDP stole Nigeria’s treasury. President Buhari’s eight years is a retooling process. The PDP are liars. We will continue with developmental programmes of the APC, it will not stop.
Imo is the destination for tourism, we will add value to real estate in Imo State, invest in education, build and reconstruct your roads in Imo. No more issue of ASUU strike. We will be prudent and manage revenue generation capacity, we will bring peace, we will work with the state to ensure security.
