Osita Okechukwu, a founding member of the All Progressives Congress, APC on Sunday said President Bola Tinubu has boosted his chances of getting South-East votes in 2027.
Okechukwu said if Tinubu can fulfill his promises of bringing investors to the South-East, he would have boosted his chances of getting the region to vote for him in the next election.
Recall that Tinubu had on Saturday embarked on his first official working visit to the South-East with a trip to Enugu State.
During the visit, he commissioned projects initiated by the state governor, Peter Mbah.
The projects commissioned include 30 smart green schools, 60 completed type 2 primary health centres, and the 19-kilometre Airport-New Haven–Bisalla and Okpara Square roads.
At a meeting with South-East stakeholders, the President said the removal of petrol subsidy was necessary to build the nation and protect the interests of future generations.
The President also pledged that his administration would support the development of the Anambra Basin as a significant energy reserve.
Reacting to President Tinubu’s visit, Okechukwu lauded him for taking time off his busy schedule to visit Enugu State, the Capital of the South-East geopolitical zone, where he got the least votes during the 2023 presidential election.
In a statement he signed, the former Voice of Nigeria, VON, Director General, said his commendation is predicated on tripartite grounds: “One is that the state visit accorded Mr President the golden opportunity to assess the unfortunate infrastructure deficit in the South-East geopolitical zone.
