A group under the aegis of South East Progressive Ambassadors, have called for support from Ndigbo for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

In a statement co-signed by its convener, John Ikeotuonye, and his secretary, Justin Nwankwo, on Saturday,the group said it will be to the disadvantage of the zone not to support Tinubu in 2027.

They, however, expressed optimism that people of the zone were already buying into the renewed hope agenda of the President and the message has started sinking gradually, adding that in 2027, the people would vote massively for him.

The statement read, “The only time to demonstrate that the South East has taken its proper seat in strategic planning and geopolitical renaissance in Nigeria is in the upcoming 2027 election, and the best choice for Ndi-Igbo to make is to unanimously key into the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.

“For us at SEPA, President Tinubu has shown immense courage to address issues like diversion of funds by state governments, delays in remitting funds, and ultimately vision to enhance local government accountability and development.

“SEPA immediately calls for a closing of ranks and building of bridges in the entire Southeastern states, especially by young professionals and progressives, who are tired of backroom and armchair politics.

“We call on young professionals and progressive ambassadors willing to make a difference to join President Bola Tinubu, to reintegrate, reconcile, and reconstruct the South East region to rise and be part of this socio-political movement for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu come 2027.

“We therefore resolve and advise Ndi-Igbo that 2027 must not catch the South-East Region unaware!

“We must be prepared to key into the Renewed Hope Agenda, and position for a strategic and progressive alliance with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

The group mentioned key indices that showed that Tinubu is well positioned to solve the challenges of the South East, which included the establishment of South East Development Commission, appointment of special Adviser for community liaison in South East states, key political appointment to people of the zone and recent official visits to all the SouthEast states.

“Following the tide of events, it is evident that President Bola Tinubu has the capacity and will to achieve his promises to Nigeria.

“We believe in Tinubu to restructure and recover the Nigerian state from failure,” SEPA added.
