A coalition of All Progressives Congress (APC) loyalists in the South-East, under the aegis of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, has declared that the region is determined to deliver massive votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
The party loyalists noted that the decision is part of a strategy to secure a seat at the table in the equitable distribution of power, resources, and infrastructure at the federal level.
The group, made up of coordinators of the ruling party’s support structures across the five states of the South-East, said the region’s growing support for Tinubu was a reflection of the positive impact of his administration’s policies and programmes.
Their declaration came ahead of Tinubu’s scheduled visit to the South-East today as part of activities marking the 10th anniversary of the APC in power.
The President, who will be received and hosted by South-East leaders in Owerri, Imo State capital, is also scheduled to commission landmark projects executed by the Governor of Imo State and Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, Hope Uzodimma.
Speaking on behalf of the group in a joint statement yesterday, Henry Ikoh (Abia), Okey Ezenwa (Anambra), Kelechi Igwe (Ebonyi), George Ogara (Enugu) and Opiah Goodluck (Imo) said Tinubu’s achievements in economic reforms, infrastructure development and national cohesion had continued to endear him to the people of the region.
Describing Tinubu as the “father of our nation and the transformer of our era,” the coordinators said that the South-East is excited to receive the President.
Assuring the President of the full support of the region in 2027, the group called on all Nigerians to support the reelection of the President without any distraction.
They said: “Indeed, the South East wants to vote massively for President Tinubu in 2027 to sit at the front of the table in the equitable distribution of resources and infrastructure.
“This visit to the South-East zone is significant, being a major activity to mark the historic anniversary and celebration of the impactful 10 years of the APC in power, especially in the last two years of Tinubu in the saddle.”
