A political support group, under the umbrella of South-East Elders Alliance for Tinubu 2027, Enugu North Senatorial District chapter, in Enugu State, on Wednesday, declared their support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

The group stated that the South-East Geo-political Zone had benefited immensely from President Tinubu’s administration, citing the appointment of many sons and daughters of the geo-political zone into juicy positions.

The group, however, pleaded with Mr. President to originate and forward to the National Assembly, an Executive Bill amending the constitutional provisions to create new states in Nigeria.

These were contained in a communique signed by the conveners of the group, including the National Coordinator, South East, Hon. Humphrey Nsofor; Deputy National Coordinator, Prof. Damian Opata; the Coordinator, Strategy, Enugu North Senatorial District, Prof. Chuka Ezema; and Co-ordinator, Administration, Enugu North Senatorial District, Dr. Anthony Alumona, after the inauguration of the group in Nsukka, Enugu State.

The group equally called on the President to reduce the harsh economic conditions in Nigeria and to stabilize the naira exchange rate in order to reduce fuel prices and food inflation in the country.

It equally called on the President to set up a digital response arm within the Nigerian security system to tackle the escalating insecurity in the country.

Part of the communique read: “After the inauguration and briefing by the National Coordinator, the Chapter pledged its loyalty to the national body, threw its support behind Hon. Engr. Humphrey C. Nsofor; agreed to key into the 10 reasons the Alliance enunciated for the need to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election as President, come 2027.

“These have already been widely publicised. Every politics has something local about it. The Enugu North Senatorial District Chapter of this movement has benefitted immensely from President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu within his short time in office. These include: “The appointment of our worthy son, Vice-Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla, of Nsukka Igbo extraction, as Chief of the Naval Staff of Nigeria; the elevation of Frank Mba of Nsukka Igbo extraction to Deputy Inspector General of Police; and the appointment of Prof. Melvin D. Ayogu of Nsukka Igbo extraction as a Member, Board of Directors, Central Bank of Nigeria.
