How Tinubu Ended Southeast Marginalisation – Umahi

President Bola Tinubu has emancipated the Southeast from marginalisation, the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, said at the weekend.

Umahi made the declaration of Tinubu’s end of Southeast marginalisation over the weekend during a civic reception organised in his honour by the Okposi Okwu community in the Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

Umahi’s assertion was against the background of decades of the sidelining of the people of the Southeast in appointments and key projects.

Though he didn’t give empirical evidence of how Tinubu ended the marginalisation of the Southeast, Umahi was quoted in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Uchenna Orji as hailing Tinubu for “ending decades of exclusion” through what he described as an equitable distribution of the dividends of democracy across all  six geo-political zones.

“The Minister thanked the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for breaking the jinx of marginalisation in the South-East through equitable distribution of the dividends of democracy,” the statement read.

The minister also saw his appointment as Minister of Works, a first in Nigeria’s post-independence history symbolized a significant shift in inclusion.

Besides, Umahi also cited the ongoing “numerous road infrastructural interventions” across the South-East as evidence of the President’s commitment to correcting historical imbalances.

He urged the region to mobilise in support of President Tinubu in the 2027 general election as a way of  reciprocating the goodwill.

Key political figures from across Nigeria attended the reception, including Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State, Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu, and Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State.

Also present were former Senate President and ex-SGF Senator Pius Anyim, former Governors Martin Elechi and Segun Osoba and and Chief Emma Enukwu, National Vice Chairman (South-East) of the APC.

GWG.ng reports that Umahi is now set to push forward evidence of how Tinubu ended the marginalisation of the Southeast.
