2023: Peter Obi Will Garner Votes In The South-East, But He Won’t Win – APC Governor, Umahi

Dave Umahi, the governor of Ebonyi State, said on Friday that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, would win a sizable portion of the South-East vote.

The former candidate for president, who identified himself as a devoted party supporter hoping that the All Progressive Congress wins the 2023 election, claimed that Obi’s political movement would serve as a reliable sign that an Igbo president will take office.

The trend won’t, however, “transform into an absolute win.” Soon after paying a private visit to President Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja, Umahi made this information known to State House Correspondents.

In mid-October, he said, Buhari will be invited to Abuja to officially open the brand-new N1.2 billion Ebonyi State Governor’s Lodge.

In response to a query on his initial concerns after losing the APC presidential primary and his call for a president of Southeast Asian descent in 2023, Umahi referred to the Obi Movement as an eye-opener demonstrating that the South East will not be ignored in Nigeria’s politics.

The governor predicted that the APC would win the election next year despite the Labour Party being in a strong position to win the majority of votes in the Southeast.
