2027: Igbos now understand importance of alliance – Southeast group drums support for Tinubu
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 press release signed by its convener, Mr John CDO Ikeotuonye, and his secretary, Dr Justin Ogoo Nwankwo said it will be to the disadvantage of the zone not to support Tinubu in 2027.
It, however, expressed optimism that people of the zone were already buying into the renewed hope preachment of the president, and that they now understand the importance of building alliance with the president, instead of fighting him.
They insisted that the message of renewed hope of President Bola Tinubu has 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 it’s proper seat in strategic planning and geo political 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 arm chair 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 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 included the establishment of South East Development Commission, SEDC, appointment of special Adviser for community liaison in South East states, key political appointment to people of the zone and recent official visits to all the South East states.
The group said: “Following the tide of events, it is evident that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has the capacity and will achieve his promises to Nigeria. We believe in Tinubu to restructure and recover the Nigerian state from failure.”
The governments of Abia and Imo States have announced the launching of a joint security taskforce and surveillance along the Aba-Owerri expressway, starting from Owerrinta in Abia State all the way to Owerri, Imo State.
The launch followed recent attacks by criminals on the expressway, including kidnapping, armed robbery and other criminal activities.
The formation of the joint security taskforce and surveillance was announced by Ferdinand Ekeoma, the Special Adviser to Governor Alex Otti on Media and Publicity.
His statement read in part: “Arising from a strategic emergency security meeting held today, 4th December, 2025, by the Governors of Abia and Imo Sates at the Imo State Government Owerri House, His Excellency Governor Alex Otti and His Excellency Senator Hope Uzodinma resolved to set up a joint security Taskforce that shall consist of Soldiers, Naval Personnel, Police Officers , DSS Personnel, and other Government Security Agencies.
“The joint security Taskforce shall, starting from tomorrow 5th December 2025, patrol the road 24 hours nonstop, while carrying out massive surveillance in the surrounding bushes using sophisticated drones and other modern security equipment.”
According to the statement, Governor Alex Otti commended the Governor of Imo State for arresting the criminals who carried out an attack on His advanced team and other passengers a few days ago.
“The two Governors, while assuring citizens plying the road on a daily basis and those returning home for Christmas of their safety and security, warn that there would be severe consequences for any criminal caught on the road going forward”, Ekeoma concluded.
President Bola Tinubu has transmitted to the senate two lists of 34 career and 31 non career ambassadors nominees for screening and confirmation.
Prominent names listed as non career ambassadors include Reno Omokri, Femi Fani-Kayode, Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau, Victor Ikpeazu and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
Also listed as non career ambassadors nominees are Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, Vice Admiral Ete Ibas, Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, Senator Nora Daduut, Fatima Ajimobi, and Senator Ita Enang among others.
