…with govs’ alignment•But will projects in region sway voters?
By Soni Daniel, Northern Region Editor
THEY are in three different parties for now but within their inner recesses, something is working together. Three of the South-East governors are working hard to return to office in 2027 and one will strive to implant a successor he can always turn up to after leaving office next year.
On top of these political designs is a much higher desire: the re-election of their principal-President BolaTinubu, who is not the only candidate preferred by Southeasterners. Peter Obi, a son of the soil, sits there and has a higher stake than Tinubu in the South-East.But something that has the higher capacity to change the scroll of political history is happening in the zone.Most of the governors there are rallying behind Tinubu in an unprecedented manner and such proximity can trigger more votes for the president for the first time in Nigeria’s political history.Besides that, Tinubu has been working quietly with the governors over time and changing things All Progressives Congress, APC, leaders said can be seen, felt and touched by the Southeast citizens and they seem to be convinced better days are coming their way.That is the area of the country where David Umahi, the Minister of Works, who does not hide his admiration of Tinubu, comes from.At a major federal government bridge undergoing construction in Ebonyi, last week, Umahi spoke authoritatively as a man who understands what is going to happen.
