Umahi’s Performance Will Attract Igbo Votes For Tinubu – Isiguzoro

A former leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Okechukwu Isiguzoro has disclosed  that the prompt and effective delivery of ongoing infrastructure projects by the minister of works, Dave Umahi, would be a decisive factor in the voting behaviour of Igbo electorate in the 2027 elections.

He said their collective decision at the ballot box would be guided not by party loyalties but by the clarity of performance and the authenticity of conscience.

In a statement on Friday by its  secretary-general, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro Isiguzoro said, the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has broken from tradition of marginalization of Ndigbo.

“It speaks to a deeper narrative of systemic marginalization that has fueled discontent and agitation over the years. For over two decades, the region has suffered from a severe absence of federal investment, with roads deteriorating into perilous conditions that threaten the safety and prosperity of our communities. This decay constitutes not only a physical obstruction to progress but also a symbolic barrier to the rightful inclusion and empowerment of the Southeast in Nigeria’s national agenda.

“For the first time in years, the federal government is prioritiSing the rehabilitation and construction of vital road networks in the Southeast, rectifying decades of neglect.

“The approval for extensive projects such as the Makurdi-Nsukka, Night Mile-Enugu, and Calabar-Ikot Ekpene, Aba expressways is a welcome relief.”
