Senator David Umahi, the Minister of Works, declared on Monday that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will secure 1.3 million votes out of the 1.8 million registered voters in Ebonyi State for the 2027 general election.
Umahi also pledged that the party would deliver President Bola Tinubu and Governor Francis Nwifuru for re‑election, asserting that the APC faces no serious opposition in the state.
The statement was made during the APC mega rally at Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium in Abakaliki. Umahi credited the party’s growing support in the South‑East to President Tinubu’s commitment to the region, noting that the President had addressed several issues previously denied to the people.
He added that Governor Nwifuru must complete his constitutionally permitted eight‑year tenure and that the APC’s electoral prospects in Ebonyi are strong.
Governor Nwifuru thanked supporters for their massive turnout, highlighted achievements of his administration over the past three years and promised to consolidate them if re‑elected.
Other APC leaders at the rally included Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, who urged party faithful to mobilise voters and secure their Permanent Voter Cards; Senator Abdulaziz Yari, Director‑General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, who expressed confidence in the party’s prospects and called on voters to reciprocate President Tinubu’s support; and former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim and Dr Benjamin Nworie, who also assured overwhelming support across Ebonyi.
