The people of the South East have been urged to partner President Bola Tinubu in the development of the country and to vote en bloc for him in the 2027 election.

The call was made by the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, in Bende, Abia State, on Sunday during the inauguration of Renewed Hope Partners by Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu.

Ganduje, who was represented by the South East zonal chairman of APC, Emma Enukwu, appealed to the people of South East to give 99 per cent of their votes to President Bola Tinubu.

“You can see that all the governors of South South are collapsing into APC. Come let us join hands to make sure that 99 per cent of the votes cast in the South East are for Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu,” said Ganduje.

According to him, the zone stands to gain more projects and experience more economic advancement if President Bola Tinubu is re-elected.

Also, while inaugurating the members of Renewed Hope Partners in Abia State, the Deputy Speaker of House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, said that Tinubu deserves the votes of the South East because of the projects he has given and the more he would do.

According to Kalu, the President has re-integrated the Igbos into the schemes of things in Nigeria by giving them control of waterways and oil and gas sector through the appointment of an Igbo man as Chief of Naval Staff, among others, despite the poor votes he received in the zone in 2023.

Kalu promised that more projects would be executed in the South East if the zone gives its votes to President Tinubu in 2027.
