Backs Gov. Nwifuru and Umahi on pledge to deliver 1.3 Million votes for President Tinubu
Dr. Ijeomah Arodiogbu, MBBS, PhD, APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) South-East Co-Coordinator and APC National Vice Chairman (South-East), has expressed profound appreciation to Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru, Minister of Works Senator David Umahi, party stakeholders, and the people of the state for the impressive mobilisation that marked the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally held on Monday at the Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium in Abakaliki which drew a massive turnout of party supporters, leaders, and stakeholders in a powerful demonstration of support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
In a statement following the rally, Arodiogbu commended Governor Nwifuru for providing effective leadership and creating an enabling environment that ensured the huge attendance and orderly conduct of the campaign. He also praised the active involvement of traditional rulers, youth and women leaders, local government chairmen, and grassroots structures that turned the stadium into a sea of APC colours.
Arodiogbu specifically backed the bold pledges made by Governor Nwifuru and Senator Umahi at the rally. While Nwifuru assured President Tinubu of at least 80 per cent of the votes in Ebonyi, Umahi declared that the state would deliver 1.3 million votes for the President in the 2027 presidential election.
“I fully align with and strongly endorse the commitment made by His Excellency, Governor Francis Nwifuru, and Distinguished Senator David Umahi,” Arodiogbu stated.
“Their pledge to deliver 1.3 million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is realistic, achievable, and a clear reflection of the confidence Ebonyi people have in the Renewed Hope Agenda. With the massive mobilisation we witnessed and the unity of purpose among our leaders, Ebonyi will not only meet but exceed this target.”
He described the rally as a clear indication that Ebonyi remains a solid APC stronghold in the South-East and urged party faithful across the zone to sustain the momentum through continuous voter education, PVC collection drives, and peaceful mobilisation ahead of the January 16, 2027 presidential election.
Vice President Kashim Shettima, who represented President Tinubu, alongside other national and regional leaders including Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma and APC Presidential Campaign Council Director-General Senator Abdulaziz Yari, also addressed the mammoth crowd. The event featured strong declarations of support for Tinubu’s second term and the re-election of Governor Nwifuru.
Arodiogbu reaffirmed the South-East APC leadership’s full commitment to ensuring that the zone rewards the Federal Government’s infrastructure investments and political inclusion with decisive electoral support for President Tinubu and all APC candidates.
