JUST IN: Shettima arrives Ebonyi for APC presidential campaign rally

Abakaliki, the vibrant capital of Ebonyi State, buzzed with political fervor on Monday as thousands of All Progressives Congress supporters gathered at the Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium for a presidential rally in support of President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid for 2027. The atmosphere was electric, with the stadium already packed to its 15,000-capacity limit, leaving no seat unoccupied and many supporters queuing outside.

The Old Enugu Road leading to the venue was a scene of frenzied activity, with party members flocking to the rally site in anticipation of the arrival of party leaders. Dressed in colorful APC attire, supporters waved flags, sang solidarity songs, and displayed placards featuring the images of Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, and other prominent party figures.

Just in time, Vice-President Shettima arrived, poised to represent the President at the campaign rally. The event, which is part of the APC's nationwide presidential campaign efforts, is expected to feature the presentation of Tinubu's Renewed Hope message and highlight the achievements of the Tinubu administration. Prominent political figures, including the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and the National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, are also scheduled to address the over 15,000 party faithful.

The rally comes amid growing political realignments and heightened activities among parties seeking to win the support of Nigerians ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
