He described Tinubu as an experienced and capable leader who has the capacity to take the country to the next level.
“We must go back to our polling units. We are standing with Tinubu and Shettima. They will take care of Ebonyi State the way Buhari took care of Ebonyi State. The way Buhari has been taking care of us that is the way Jagaban is going to take care of the Ndigbo.
“Jagaban was the governor of Lagos State and under him, Ndigbo in Lagos prospered and they are still prospering. We are not guided by sentiment; we will follow the man that knows the way," Umahi said.
