Umuahia: The Abia Coordinator of Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Chief Henry Ikoh, has announced that the state is ready to move beyond regional politics, urging citizens to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
He made this statement on Saturday during the inauguration of the coordinators of Renewed Hope Ambassadors in Bende, Umuahia North, and Umuahia South Local Government Areas(LGAs).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Renewed Hope Ambassadors is a grassroots civic engagement initiative launched by Tinubu to promote his Renewed Hope Agenda and connect government policies with citizens.
Ikoh, a former Minister of State for Science, Technology and Innovation, praised Tinubu’s performance, stating that he deserves 100 per cent votes from Abia in the forthcoming general elections.
He described Tinubu as a generous president who has done much for the state, in spite of the low votes he received in 2023.
Ikoh warned against repeating the “mistake” of 2023, boasting that APC would sweep all elective positions in Abia in 2027.
He urged Renewed Hope Ambassadors to work tirelessly to ensure Tinubu’s victory in 2027, emphasizing that the state was ready for a change from regional politics.
Ikoh said: “This president has ensured that he removed oil subsidies, which was a scam.
“We have surplus money in every state. No state government will borrow money again to pay salaries.
“There is no gainsaying that if we reconnect ourselves to the center, more dividends of democracy will come to Abia.”
In separate remarks, stakeholders from the three LGAs praised the state executive of Renewed Hope Ambassadors, pledging their support for Tinubu and APC in 2027.
