Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has expressed optimism that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will receive maximum support from the South-East in the 2023 elections.
Umahi said this while inaugurating the Ebonyi Governor’s Lodge on Wednesday in Abuja.
Umahi also assured Tinubu that the people of the South-East region would vote for the APC in 2023.
According to Umahi, Tinubu also has not only the support of the people, but of other South-East governors.
He said, “So, we welcome Asiwaju and the governors to Ebonyi State for the mother of all rallies. Your excellency, you will see what an engineer can do when you come.
“We are not hiding to say that you are our candidate, and you will take care of South-East people, and all our votes will go to APC. There is no mistake about that.
“So, the people of the South-East, we have spoken. I am the Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum, so I speak on their behalf. South-East would stay with the APC in 2023 because “it would be better for us,” he added.
