Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has pledged 80 per cent of the state’s votes to President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, assuring that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would secure a landslide victory in the state.
Nwifuru declared that Ebonyi remained firmly under the control of the ruling party, expressing confidence in its political strength and ability to mobilise voters across the state.
He made the pledge on Monday while addressing Tinubu and party supporters at the APC presidential campaign rally held at the Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium in Abakaliki, the state capital.
“Let me assure you, Mr President (Tinubu), this is an APC state and you are going to win in Ebonyi. Eighty per cent of our votes are assured for you, Mr President. You are going to win by a landslide,” he said.
Also speaking at the rally, the Minister of Works, David Umahi, pledged that Ebonyi would deliver 1.3 million votes for Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Umahi said the President had done a lot for the state, particularly in road construction and other infrastructure projects, adding that Ebonyi had never had it so good.
He urged residents to continue supporting the APC and Tinubu, describing the proposed 1.3 million votes as a reward for the President’s contributions to infrastructure development in Ebonyi and the wider South-East region.
