South-East Governors Back Tinubu's 2027 Re-election Bid

Four governors from Nigeria's South-East, including Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi, Peter Mbah of Enugu, and Hope Uzodimma of Imo, called on residents to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027 at the All Progressives Congress (APC) Women Mega Rally in Enugu. They warned against political distractions and emphasized the importance of consolidating economic reforms initiated by Tinubu's administration.

Governor Peter Mbah highlighted ongoing federal projects, such as primary healthcare centers, as evidence of investment in the region. He also discussed an empowerment program aimed at 5,000 women across the South-East, building on a previous initiative that assisted over 2,000 women in Enugu.

Governor Hope Uzodimma praised Tinubu for improving federal allocations and infrastructure in the region. Ebonyi Governor Francis Nwifuru reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC and dismissed rumors of political coalitions outside the party.

Anambra Governor Charles Soludo's deputy, Gilbert Ibezim, stated the South-East should repay Tinubu's administration with electoral support.
