Ebonyi APC Leaders Pledge Tinubu Victory in 2027 Election

Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru assured President Bola Tinubu that the All Progressives Congress will secure 80 percent of the votes in the state during the 2027 presidential election. Nwifuru made the pledge on Monday at a campaign rally held at the Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium in Abakaliki.

The governor declared that Ebonyi remained firmly under the control of the ruling party and promised a convincing victory for Tinubu in the forthcoming election. He told the President and party supporters that the APC had the support and commitment required to secure the promised votes.

“Let me assure you, Mr. President (Tinubu), this is an APC state and you are going to win in Ebonyi. 80% of our votes are assured for you, Mr. President. You are going to win by a landslide.”

Nwifuru said Ebonyi is an APC state and Tinubu will win by a landslide. His declaration came as the party intensified mobilisation activities ahead of the January 16, 2027 presidential election.

APC Presidential Campaign Council Director-General Senator Abdulaziz Yari also spoke at the rally in Abakaliki on Monday. Yari said Ebonyi people must vote for Tinubu for a second term so he can complete ongoing projects and consolidate programmes that directly affect the people.

Yari noted that the appointment of former Ebonyi governor David Umahi as Minister of Works showed Tinubu has the state at heart. He said the council and APC are targeting a minimum of 1.2 million votes out of 1.5 million registered voters in the state.

Yari claimed Ebonyi has 1.8 million registered voters and 1.5 million PVCs collected as of the last count. He told youths and women that 1.2 million votes from Ebonyi people are guaranteed because Tinubu appointed their brother as Minister of Works.

The rally attracted party leaders, government officials, political stakeholders and supporters from different parts of Ebonyi State. The event demonstrated support for Tinubu's second-term ambition and aimed to strengthen the party's political structure ahead of the general elections.
