By Atlantic Reports

President Bola Tinubu has commended the people of Ebonyi State for their support for the All Progressives Congress (APC), urging them to sustain their backing ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Tinubu made the appeal through Vice-President Kashim Shettima, who represented him at the APC presidential campaign rally in Abakaliki on Monday, November 9, 2026.

The President urged residents to vote for him and other APC candidates, saying his administration remained committed to addressing Nigerians’ needs through policies and programmes aimed at national development.

“We appreciate your support for President Tinubu. I urge you to come out en masse and vote for Tinubu and all APC candidates, from top to bottom,” Shettima said on his behalf.

APC leaders seek statewide support

The Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, also called on Ebonyi residents to support the President and other candidates of the party.

Yari said the party’s campaign was centred on national unity and progress.

Similarly, APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, represented by the party’s South-East Vice-Chairman, Benjamin Nworie, commended the turnout and support displayed by party members in the state.

Umahi describes Ebonyi as APC stronghold

Minister of Works David Umahi expressed confidence in the party’s political position in Ebonyi, describing the state as an APC stronghold.

He urged residents to demonstrate their support through their votes in the 2027 elections.

“APC is Ebonyi. We do not have any other party in Ebonyi. I urge you to vote for President Tinubu and all other APC candidates in 2027,” Umahi said.

Nwifuru highlights federal infrastructure interventions

Governor Francis Nwifuru also commended Tinubu for what he described as significant infrastructure projects in Ebonyi and other parts of the South-East.

He said federal government interventions in the region reflected the administration’s commitment to infrastructure development and improved living conditions.

The governor urged residents to reciprocate the federal government’s support by voting for APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.

The rally forms part of the party’s mobilisation activities ahead of the 2027 general elections. While APC leaders used the gathering to seek electoral support, the administration’s infrastructure claims and development commitments remain important issues for public assessment, particularly in relation to project delivery, funding and their impact on communities across Ebonyi and the wider South-East.
