2027: Play Football On Election Day, Complain Later – Umahi Warns Voters by adenigga(op): 3:02am On Aug 30

Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has charged people of the South-East to ensure that they perform their civic duty on election day.

Umahi warned voters in the South-East against playing football when they should be performing their civic duty.

In a video circulating on social media, Umahi said voters who play football on election day might complain when bad leaders are elected into office.

He said: “Let it not be during voting you are playing football. Then tomorrow you start to come and complain. It is not acceptable.”

Umahi urged people of the South-East to appreciate President Bola Tinubu by voting for him.

He also noted that Tinubu would be re-elected despite criticism and insults from some Nigerians.

Umahi added: “I was governor, I was deputy governor. I was a party chairman. Never in the history of the South-East did we witness even five per cent of the federal budget in the South-East. And so we are witnessing this.

“The road is being fixed and then you just take it for granted. You say it’s what he’s supposed to do. What of the people that are supposed to do it that didn’t do it? Did they give you change?

“If you are insulting us, insulting the president, it doesn’t stop him from winning.”

Well, where's the logic in that?

If you vote and elect dishonest politicians, you have no right to complain.
I, on the other hand, who did not come out to vote has the only right to complain about the mess you created.

Any Nigerian adult without a valid voters card should be seen as a very unserious person.

Male or female, instant red flag for relationship or close friendship.

If you are an Ibo person in Lagos, it is very well advised to stay away from polling units and play football on election day

Oluomo and co have made that abundantly clear grin

If Umahi and the government which he is a part of provide voter safety and vote integrity across Nigeria, people won't see the need to rather play street soccer than risk going vote and be gunned down by thugs.

They are always petty
How.could playing soccer really affect the election process
They never want us to be ourselves
In other climes, elections hold and people live as they will
Here, it is always apprehension, then manipulations, courts and JAGABAN

Umahi is helpless. He knows that the SE will never vote for tinubu and if tinubu wins without the SE votes, he's a goner.

Either ways tinubu wins or not, umahi is a goner.

Nigerians should listen to this coded message as the universe is using him to pass a very serious message...this message ain't for the stomach infrastructure tribal youths and adults but for the real well meaning Nigerians who genuinely want a genuine change.
