…says zone now understands president’s message of ‘hope’
A group of young professionals from the South-East under the aegis of South East Progressive Ambassadors (SEPA) has called for support from Ndigbo for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
The group, in a statement signed by its convener, John Ikeotuonye and his secretary, Justin Ogoo Nwankwo, said it would be to the disadvantage of the Zone not to support Tinubu in 2027.
It, however, expressed optimism that people of the Zone are already buying into the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, and the message had started sinking gradually, adding that in 2027, the people would vote massively for him.

The group said, “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 Ahmed 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 close of ranks and building of bridges in the entire South Eastern States, especially by young professionals and progressives, who are tired of back-room and armchair politics.
“We call on young professionals and progressive ambassadors willing to make a difference by joining President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR 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 Ahmed Tinubu come 2027.

“We therefore resolve and advise Ndi-Igbo that 2027 must not catch the South East Region unawares! We must be prepared to key into the Renewed Hope Agenda, and position for 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. They include the establishment of the South East Development Commission (SEDC), appointment of Special Adviser for community liaison in South-East States, key political appointments to people of the Zone and recent official visits to all the South-East 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”, the group added.
