ABAKALIKI — On Monday, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, accompanied by members of the party’s National Working Committee, led a prominent delegation to Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, for a rally that endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for a second term in 2027.

The rally, held at the Abakaliki Township Stadium, drew several political heavyweights, including Governor Hope Uzodimma, Governor Chukwuma Soludo, Minister of Works David Umahi, Enugu State Deputy Governor Ifeanyi Ossai, and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Pius Anyim, among others.

Welcoming the delegation, Ebonyi State APC Chairman Chief Santely Okoro‑Emegha declared that the state is firmly aligned with the APC and that the rally was intended to demonstrate overwhelming support for President Tinubu’s 2027 re‑election campaign.

He pledged that Ebonyi would deliver 100 percent votes in all local government areas in support of the President.

Minister of Works David Umahi said the entire South‑East is increasingly aligning with President Tinubu’s administration, citing ongoing federal projects in the region as evidence of inclusion and a focus on development.

He also highlighted major infrastructure projects in Ebonyi State, including a federal road project valued at N445 billion.

Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State attended the event in solidarity with the Ebonyi State Governor, noting that although he belongs to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), he supports progressive governance and development initiatives across the country.

Soludo added that his visit to Ebonyi was nostalgic, recalling his earlier years spent in the state where his father worked at the Nigercem Cement Company in Nkalagu.

The event, which featured prominent political figures from across party lines, was described as a display of growing political alignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.
