The All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign team traveled to Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi State, to target 1.2 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming presidential election on January 16. Vice President Kashim Shettima explained that the administration had returned to the region to report on its achievements and secure the mandate to continue serving, defending, and standing by the people.

The government has invested in infrastructure projects such as highways, bridges, and expressways, as well as initiatives for renewable energy projects. Shettima also highlighted the government's support for education through NELFUND and TETFund, as well as its efforts to provide employment opportunities and digital skills training for the youth.

The APC's Presidential Campaign Council Secretary, Senator Hope Uzodimma, warned that ongoing federal projects in the South-East would halt if Tinubu is not re-elected. He urged voters to come out in large numbers on voting day and to reject sentiment, emphasizing the importance of voting based on pragmatism, national unity, and inclusion.
