The zonal coordinator of the new media of All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC- PCC), Francis Nwaze, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu would secure a landslide victory in the 2027 general election. Nwaze cited the administration's infrastructural development and renewed attention to the South-East region as reasons for the expected victory. He made these comments during the presidential flag-off of 2027 APC presidential campaign in Ebonyi state.

Nwaze noted that the massive and organic turnout of supporters demonstrated the people's appreciation of Tinubu's achievements and their determination to support his re-election bid. The South-East region has witnessed unprecedented infrastructural development under the administration, particularly with the presence of Minister of Works, David Umahi, who Nwaze described as a son of the region. This has made the people feel remembered by the Federal Government.

According to Nwaze, the people of the South-East are responding with overwhelming support for the President due to the tangible infrastructural achievements. He listed the Obinagu flyover, reinforced concrete pavement projects, and major road construction initiatives as some of the projects strengthening the region's confidence in the Tinubu administration. These projects have improved the region's infrastructure and connectivity.

Nwaze also highlighted the proposed road connection linking the South-East directly with the North-Central region, particularly the route connecting Ebonyi state to Abuja. This major development is expected to improve connectivity and reduce travel time between the two regions. The ongoing projects and anticipated federal interventions have further strengthened the resolve of the people to support Tinubu's continuation in office.

The campaign coordinator said the 2027 presidential election would produce a significantly different outcome from the 2023 election, expressing confidence that Tinubu would win by a wide margin. He added that the President deserved another term to complete projects already initiated and deliver on outstanding commitments to Nigerians. Nwaze emphasized that the South-East's support for Tinubu was rooted in tangible infrastructural achievements.

Nwaze insisted that the people's support for Tinubu was not based on political rhetoric but on the actual development projects in the region. He expressed optimism that the President would return in 2027 with an overwhelming mandate from the South-East region. The region's support for Tinubu is seen as a testament to the administration's efforts to address the region's infrastructural needs.

The APC coordinator's confidence in Tinubu's re-election bid is based on the administration's track record of delivering on its promises. With the ongoing projects and anticipated federal interventions, Nwaze believes that Tinubu will continue to enjoy massive support from the South-East region. The President's re-election bid is expected to be influenced by his administration's performance in the region.
