Minister of Works and former Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has sparked reactions with his comments on the 2027 governorship race in Ebonyi State and the issue of political rotation.
Umahi argued that the principle of rotation should apply to both state and national political offices. He said Ebonyi State’s governorship should remain subject to the existing rotation arrangement among the senatorial zones.
According to him, it is not yet the turn of Ebonyi South Senatorial Zone to produce the next governor of the state.
Umahi extended the argument to the presidency, stating that the South-East and Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi should also wait for their turn to produce Nigeria’s president.
The former governor also said he would engage Anyi Chuks and appeal to him to step down from the governorship race, maintaining that political positions should be distributed according to the principle of rotation.
His remarks have generated reactions as political parties and aspirants continue to position themselves ahead of the 2027 elections.
