Tinubu hails Ebonyi’s support for APC, urges massive votes for party
President Bola Tinubu has commended the people of Ebonyi for their support for the All Progressives Congress, urging them to sustain their loyalty to the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Mr Tinubu made the commendation on Monday at the party’s official presidential campaign rally in Abakaliki, where he urged the electorate to vote in large numbers for APC candidates across all levels of government.
The President, represented by Vice-President Kashim Shettima, said his administration remained committed to addressing Nigerians’ needs and aspirations through policies and programmes aimed at national development.
Mr Shettima urged the people of Ebonyi to support his bid for a second term, saying their continued support is important to sustaining the gains his administration has recorded.
“We appreciate your support for President Tinubu. I urge you to come out en masse and vote for Tinubu and all APC candidates, from top to bottom,” he said.
Abdulaziz Yari, director-general of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, also called for massive votes for the president.
Mr Yari also urged support for all APC candidates.
“We are voting for national unity and progress of the nation,” he said.
APC chair Nentawe Yilwatda commended the party’s strong support in Ebonyi, and works minister David Umahi expressed confidence in the party’s electoral prospects in Ebonyi.
Mr Umahi described Ebonyi as an APC stronghold, urging residents to demonstrate their support through their votes in the 2027 elections.
“I must say that APC is Ebonyi. We do not have any other party in Ebonyi. I urge you to vote for President Tinubu and all other APC candidates in 2027,” he said.
Governor Francis Nwifuru also commended Mr Tinubu for what he described as remarkable infrastructure projects executed in the state and other parts of the South-East.
Mr Nwifuru said the federal government’s interventions in the region had demonstrated the president’s commitment to infrastructure development and improved living conditions for the people.
He urged the people of the state to reciprocate the government’s support by remaining loyal to the APC and voting for its candidates in 2027.
