President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been endorsed by the South-East chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for second term.
To ensure the actualization of the second term bid, the South East APC said that it is ready to mobilise support across the zone for Tinubu’s re-election ahead of the next presidential poll.
In a communiqué issued at the end of the APC South-East Zonal Expanded Executive Meeting and made available to Newssnow in Abuja on Sunday, APC National Vice Chairman (South-East), Ijeomah Arodiogbu explained that the meeting focused on issues affecting the unity, growth and electoral prospects of the party in the South-East geopolitical zone, particularly as political actors begin early alignments ahead of future elections.
The meeting was attended by newly elected party chairmen from Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo states, alongside other members of the zonal executive committee.
He said, “The South East Zonal Executive Committee reaffirms its total and unwavering support for the re-election of His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the forthcoming presidential election.”
The committee also expressed support for APC governors in the region and other elected officials of the party across various levels of government.
“The Committee equally reiterates its full and unalloyed support for all APC Governors in the South East zone, as well as all elected representatives and officials of the party at federal, state, and local levels,” the communique read.
As part of its resolutions, the zonal leadership urged members across the five South-East states to work together to strengthen the party’s chances in future elections.
It further stressed the need to deepen internal cohesion within the party to expand its membership base and improve its electoral performance in the region.
“The meeting resolved that party members and leaders across the South East zone shall work in unity and with a shared commitment to deliver comprehensive electoral victories for the APC in the presidential, National Assembly, governorship, and State House of Assembly elections throughout the zone,” Arodiogbu stated.
The APC chieftain called on party faithful to sustain their backing for the Renewed Hope Agenda of Tinubu while working towards achieving the party’s broader political objectives.
