Hon. Princess Gloria Akobundu, PhD, fsi, Secretary of Faith-Based Mobilisation of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC) and a member of the APC PCC Women Mobilisation Directorate, has praised Ebonyi State Governor, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, for the remarkable success of the party’s presidential campaign rally held in the state.
Speaking on the well-attended event at the Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium in Abakaliki, Princess Akobundu described the rally as a clear demonstration of Governor Nwifuru’s exceptional organisational capacity, strategic leadership, and deep connection with the grassroots.
She noted that the massive turnout of party supporters, the seamless coordination of the programme, and the strong presence of national leaders, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, were products of the Governor’s commitment to the success of the All Progressives Congress in Ebonyi State and the South-East at large.
“His Excellency, Governor Francis Nwifuru, has once again proven why Ebonyi remains a solid APC stronghold. The outstanding success of the presidential rally reflects his hard work, inclusive leadership style, and the confidence the people of Ebonyi have in both his administration and the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” she stated.
Princess Akobundu, who also plays a key role in the party’s faith-based and women mobilisation structures at the national campaign level, specially commended the collaborative efforts of other stakeholders, particularly the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, party leaders across the state, traditional rulers, women and youth groups, and the thousands of supporters who turned out en masse to endorse President Tinubu’s re-election bid.
She expressed strong confidence that the momentum generated from the Abakaliki rally would translate into a decisive electoral victory for the APC in Ebonyi State in the 2027 general elections.
She particularly aligned with the bold pledges made at the event, including Governor Nwifuru’s assurance of at least 80 per cent of the votes and Senator Umahi’s commitment to deliver 1.3 million votes for President Tinubu.
As a frontline mobiliser within the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Princess Akobundu reaffirmed her commitment to working with the leadership in Ebonyi and across the South-East to ensure effective voter education, faith-based engagement, and women participation in the ongoing campaign.
The November 9 presidential rally in Abakaliki has been widely regarded as one of the most successful in the South-East leg of the APC campaign, further consolidating the party’s base in the region ahead of the 2027 elections.
