The Igbo Arise Political Support Group has initiated a comprehensive nationwide campaign aimed at garnering support for President Bola Tinubu as he seeks re-election in the upcoming 2027 presidential elections. This movement follows their endorsement of Tinubu and his Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, during the 2023 election, reflecting their belief in the administration’s progress and dedication to advancing national development.
Key Highlights from the Campaign Launch
During a World Press Conference held on Monday at the Best Western Hotel in Enugu, Michael Iroakazi, the National Coordinator of Igbo Arise for Tinubu/Shetima 2027, articulated the group’s vision and objectives. He emphasized that the current administration has made bold and challenging decisions aimed at reforming Nigeria’s governance structures and ensuring the country’s sustainable development.
Iroakazi asserted, “The combination of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima is undoubtedly the best leadership duo Nigeria has today.” He praised Shettima for his unwavering loyalty and support for Tinubu, which he believes empowers the administration to tackle complex challenges head-on.
Achievements of the Tinubu/Shetima Administration
The press conference highlighted several pivotal achievements of the Tinubu/Shetima government, including:
- Removal of Fuel Subsidy: This decision is seen as a critical step towards fiscal responsibility and economic reform.
- Empowerment of Local Governments: Through granting autonomy, the administration aims to strengthen grassroots governance.
- Ongoing Tax Reform Debate: This initiative is geared towards creating a fairer and more efficient tax system that can stimulate economic growth.
Iroakazi expressed confidence that these reforms would usher Nigeria into an era of sustainable development, ultimately positioning the nation as a leading force in Africa.
Call to Action for the Igbo Community
Iroakazi made a passionate appeal to the public, urging them to join this campaign for progress. “We are inviting everyone to be part of this movement because our collective development is crucial in the political landscape of this country,” he stated. He assured that a robust, peaceful, and economically stable Igbo land is achievable under a Tinubu/Shetima administration.
The group is particularly focused on the South East region’s need for peace and development, emphasizing that collaboration with the federal government is essential. They believe that aligning with Tinubu’s vision will facilitate the region’s growth and stability.
Thematic Focus of the Campaign
The campaign is aptly themed “Ahamuefula, championing a sure path of renewed hope for Ndigbo with Tinubu/Shetima,” encapsulating the group’s mission to mobilize support for the President’s re-election bid.
