RHGN Engages Igbo Town Unions for 2027 Elections Support
The Renewed Hope for Greater Nigeria (RHGN) has ramped up grassroots mobilization in the Southeast ahead of the 2027 general election, focusing on engaging the Association of Igbo Town Unions (ASITU). Mazi Franklin Ngoforo, the Deputy National Leader Southeast of RHGN, visited Chief Emeka Diwe, the National President of ASITU, to rally support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
Ngoforo praised Chief Diwe for his leadership over 6,000 town unions and highlighted Tinubu's policies that align with the interests of the poor, including the Supreme Court ruling on local government financial autonomy, the NELFUND student loan scheme, and the establishment of the South East Development Commission (SEDC). He noted that these initiatives empower local governments and enhance accountability.
Chief Diwe affirmed ASITU's non-partisan stance while advocating for improved grassroots living standards and promoting the “Aku Ruo Ulo” investment initiative aimed at strengthening the region's economy.
