Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru has assured President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of overwhelming support in the 2027 general election.

Mr Nwifuru said the president has performed creditably in all sectors of governance and deserves the state’s support in the general election.

He stated this at the weekend when he received the leadership of the Grassroots Advocacy for Tinubu, led by the founder, Mrs Hanmo Akume.

The governor said that, in the midst of the economic and security challenges facing the nation, the president has demonstrated courage and competence.

Mr Nwifuru commended the group for the initiative, which he said will draw support for the re-election bid of the president and All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates in the 2027 general election.

“I am happy with this initiative of mobilising support for our president because he has done very well. The positive changes the President has brought are enormous, and it is not hidden.

“There is no sector that you will not see the impact of Mr President. Therefore, I urge you to intensify efforts to keep the grassroots abreast of the monumental achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the need to lend their support for his re-election.”

He maintained that the president has carried every zone and state along in his administration.

“There’s no state you will not see Federal Government projects, and this is the first time we are witnessing this in the country. Before the emergence of President Tinubu, there was no federal government project in Ebonyi State, but now I am happy to inform you that we have been remembered with many federal projects and appointments.”

Earlier, the Director General of the group, Prof. Ochugudu Achoda, told the governor that they were in the state for the inauguration of the South-East chapter of the group.

According to him, the primary motive of the group was to mobilise support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the grassroots.

“We try to communicate clearly the policies and achievements of Mr President with a view to clarifying some misconceptions. We engage actively with youths and women groups to let them understand that the journey we started in 2023 has started manifesting in several sectors.”

He commended the governor for initiating projects that have a direct bearing on the lives of the people, and in tandem with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
