The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has promised that the All Progressives Congress, APC, will secure 1.3 million votes out of the 1.8 million registered voters in Ebonyi State during the 2027 general election.
Umahi also declared that the party would deliver President Bola Tinubu and Governor Francis Nwifuru for re-election, insisting that the APC has no serious opposition in the state.
The Minister made the declaration on Monday during the APC mega rally held at Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium, Abakaliki.
He attributed the party’s growing support in the South-East to President Tinubu’s commitment to the region, saying the President had addressed several issues previously denied the people.
Umahi further insisted that Governor Nwifuru must complete his constitutionally permitted eight-year tenure.
Also speaking, Governor Francis Nwifuru thanked party supporters for their massive turnout, highlighted some achievements of his administration in the last three years and promised to consolidate on them if re-elected.
The Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, urged party faithful to mobilise voters and secure their Permanent Voter Cards ahead of the elections.
Similarly, the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, expressed confidence in the party’s electoral prospects in Ebonyi, urging the people to reciprocate President Tinubu’s support for the state through massive votes.
Former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, and other party leaders, including Dr Benjamin Nworie, also assured the APC of overwhelming support across the state.
