Speaking further, Umahi said Tinubu has done well for the South-East since assuming office in 2023 and that the region would back him in the next election.
As reported by Channels TV, the minister noted that the current administration has embarked on federal projects in the South-East region and other parts of the country.
Umahi, a two-term governor of Ebonyi state, said the Igbos would rally around Tinubu and ensure his re-election.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is going to have 99 percent of the votes of the South-East because he has been very nice to the people of the South-East. They will leave South-West to give us 99.99% (in) 2027,” he added.

PDP National Youth Group spokesperson Dare Glintstone Akinniyi revealed that El-Rufai’s growing ties with the opposition bigwigs including Atiku, could affect Tinubu's re-election bid.
In an exclusive interview with Legit.ng, Akinniyi likened El-Rufai’s current moves to the role played by FCT minister Nyesom Wike in supporting the ruling APC from within the opposition.
