The National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), South East, Dr. Ijeomah Arodiogbu, has declared that Ebonyi State is behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
His position followed APC’s electoral victory in all the 13 Local Government Chairmanship and Councillorship positions in the Ebonyi State.
Dr. Arodiogbu, while congratulating the newly elected council chairmen and councillors, described the outcome of the local government election as a strong demonstration of the confidence of Ebonyi voters in the APC and the leadership of President Tinubu.

“This landslide victory shows that Ebonyi is 100 percent for Tinubu. Our people have spoken loudly and clearly. They have rejected opposition politics and embraced the progressive agenda of the APC under the leadership of Mr. President,” he said
According to Arodiogbu, the APC’s performance at the grassroots level reflects growing acceptance of what he described as the development-oriented policies of the federal and state governments.
He specifically cited infrastructure development, agricultural support and improved security as areas in which government policies were, in his assessment, contributing to greater public confidence in the APC.
The APC South-East leader, however, cautioned the newly elected officials against allowing the electoral victory to become an excuse for complacency.
Tangible Democratic Dividends
He urged them to immediately settle down to work, prioritise the welfare of residents, promote accountability and ensure that the people receive tangible democratic dividends from their mandates.
“This is not the time for celebration alone. It is a call to service. The people of Ebonyi have given us their mandate; we must not disappoint them,” he stated.
Arodiogbu also called on the new council officials and party members across the state to remain committed to the APC and President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, as political activities and preparations for the 2027 general elections intensify.
In the press statement, he added that the result is expected to further strengthen the APC’s grassroots political structure in Ebonyi as the party begins preparations for the 2027 presidential and other elections.
