From Tony John, Port Harcourt
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Port Harcourt-based lawyer, Princewill Dike, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will secure a landslide victory in the 2027 presidential election on the strength of his people-oriented policies and massive projects across the country, especially in the South-East.
Dike spoke in response to a question from a follower on his Facebook platform, Princewill Dike Platform, who questioned his call for Tinubu to remain in office till 2031.
The APC stalwart said his position was informed by “the Federal Government’s interventions in infrastructure, education, healthcare, transportation and economic development in the South-East, and also the infrastructural renaissance in Abuja, which has transformed Abuja to one of the best city centres in the globe.”

He argued that the policies have “direct implications for the development of the South-East region” and should be allowed to run full course.
Dike cited the creation of the South East Development Commission (SEDC), as a game-changer. He said the commission was established to drive investment and infrastructure across Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo states.
He also mentioned the rehabilitation and commencement of commercial operations on the Port Harcourt–Aba railway, the proposed revival of the Port Harcourt–Enugu rail line, and the Federal Government’s wider plans for the Eastern rail corridor.
