Umahi Says 2027 No Be Igbo Turn, And He Wants To Be President Too

Dave Umahi, the Minister of Works, said it plain on Thursday September 24 at the Benin-Asaba Highway flag-off in Benin City, that it is not the turn of the Igbos to produce president. And the same Umahi turned around and said, I want to be president, but it's not yet our turn. It's the turn of President Bola Tinubu.

So a man from Ebonyi is telling the whole South-East to wait, while he also nurses the same ambition in his chest. He was answering Peter Obi, who allegedly said Umahi is not his match. Umahi asked, does Peter Obi have a stronger family background, intellectual credentials or record of service to the South-East? He said put it side by side and tell me which area Peter Obi is better than me.

Edo Governor Monday Okpebholo added his own, saying there is no vacancy in Aso Rock and Asiwaju's eight years must be complete. He even called some people supermarket people who want to rule Nigeria. In Kano, we know this pattern. When the turn reaches you, they will tell you to wait for God's time. Be honest, is presidency a queue or a contest?
