According to Umahi, the All Progressives Congress (APC) can win all five South-East states in 2027.\n\nUmahi described Peter Obi as his brother and friend. He emphasized that his position on integrating the South-East into the mainstream of the nation has not changed, a stance he maintained during his tenure as governor.\n\nUmahi also mentioned that there are other South-East candidates contesting the election, making Peter Obi not the only one. He cited his past actions as governor of Ebonyi State as evidence of his commitment to development.",
