Ahead of the 2027 polls, allies of President Bola Tinubu under the aegis of South East Renewed Hope Agenda (SERHA), has earmarked N200 million for the purchase of the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination form and other campaign logistics for his re-election bid.
The announcement was made during the inauguration and empowerment of the Imo State chapter of the group yesterday in Owerri.
Its National Coordinator, Belusochukwu Enwere, in a statement, reaffirmed the group’s commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda and its grassroots mobilization campaign across the South-East region.
Enwere emphasized the group’s objective of re-electing President Tinubu in 2027, describing him as a “performing president” whose leadership has brought renewed focus on infrastructure, education, and inclusive governance in the region.
“As ambassadors of Renewed Hope, we are tasked with working tirelessly towards the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
“Today, we present a cheque of N200 million for the purchase of the presidential nomination form and associated logistics.”
He highlighted several federal initiatives benefiting the Southeast, including the recently approved $3 billion Eastern Rail Line project.
Enwere hailed the railway development as the most significant federal infrastructure investment in the region’s history, aimed at boosting trade, reducing transport costs, and addressing longstanding issues of regional marginalization.
He also commended the creation of the South East Development Commission (SEDC), which he said would focus on road construction, erosion control, and regional economic development.
In addition, he noted the contributions of iconic leaders from Imo State, including the late Chief Sam Mbakwe and Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, and praised Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, for his developmental strides under the 3R Agenda.
He further stated that the group would commence a comprehensive tour of all 95 local government areas and 2,344 wards across the five South-East states starting in August, to galvanize grassroots support for Tinubu’s re-election.
“This is the turn of Southern Nigeria to complete our eight years. The people of the South-East will not back down to ensure Tinubu’s victory in 2027,” he said.
