Umahi questions why Igbos should be given only four years, as others had eight

Ebonyi Governor David Umahi has reportedly reacted to Peter Obi's presidential push by asking why Igbos should do only four years when other regions have held power for eight. The remark is drawing reactions from supporters of Obi and of the ruling APC.

• Obi, the NDC candidate, has previously spoken of serving a single term if elected.
• The comment adds to the debate over zoning and the South-East's place in the 2027 race.
