Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has claimed that the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi is not a threat to President Bola Tinubu.
He, however, said Obi is his brother.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, the minister said: “Peter Obi is my brother and friend. My position about integrating the Southeast into the main stream of the nation never changed as a governor.
“When Buhari was there I publicly asked the Southeast to give Buhari 25 percent while I gave Atiku 75 percent in my state.
“So my position has not changed, my position is that we should have a broad mind. Peter Obi is not the only Southeast candidate contesting, we have three other Southeast candidates that are contesting.
“So Peter Obi is not a threat to APC. Talk is cheap and I’m saying what we are doing. I said what I did as governor of Ebonyi State.

Umahi, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will be re-elected in 2027, saying he has faith in God that the President will return for a second term.
Also during the show, Umahi said Tinubu’s performance and the difficult economic situation he inherited were enough reasons for Nigerians to give him another mandate.
“I have faith in God that God will return him,” the minister declared when asked what gave him the impression that Nigerians might re-elect Tinubu in 2027.
According to him, “Power belongs to God, and God brought him,” stressing that Tinubu assumed office at a particularly challenging period and had been confronted with several obstacles.
Umahi, who dismissed the suggestion that his assessment was based merely on the fact that Tinubu is his principal, said the President was “doing very well” and that his economic reforms, though painful, were necessary to rescue the country.
“He came at a very challenging period. All manner of obstacles were thrown on his way. Power belongs to God, and God brought him,” he said.
