ABUJA, Nigeria — President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed the Minister of Works, His Excellency, Sen. Engr. David Nweze Umahi, CON, as Deputy Director General, Infrastructure, Mobilisation and Sensitisation of the presidential campaign council for his 2027 re-election bid.
The appointment places the former Ebonyi State governor in a strategic position linking the administration’s infrastructure record with nationwide mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general election.
Umahi, a civil engineer and one of the administration’s most visible ministers, has since 2023 supervised major federal road and bridge projects across the six geopolitical zones, while maintaining extensive engagement with state governments, legislators, traditional institutions, contractors and communities.
The campaign structure brings together senior figures from the Presidency, National Assembly, APC leadership and state governments as preparations gather momentum for the 2027 elections.
Umahi’s appointment is particularly significant given the central place infrastructure development is expected to occupyh in President Tinubu’s campaign for a second term.
