The Coordinator of the President Bola Tinubu Support Group, George Agbakahi, has said many people in Nigeria’s South-East believe the region made a “huge mistake” in its voting pattern during the 2023 general elections.
Agbakahi stated this on Friday while speaking on The Morning Show, a program on Arise Television, noting that the region is now shifting its political alignment towards the All Progressives Congress, APC.
According to him, a growing number of South-East residents now see the APC as the preferred political platform, citing increased interest and participation in party activities.
He referenced the recent APC zonal congress held in Enugu, which he described as well-attended by party stakeholders, members, and non-members, adding that the event reflected rising enthusiasm for the party in the region.
Agbakahi also commended President Bola Tinubu for what he described as significant developmental strides, particularly in infrastructure and industrialisation across the country, especially in the South-East.
He said: “We in the South-East believe that we made a huge mistake in the last election in 2023. So, we now know the place to go. The place to go is APC. Majority of southeasterners, they believe in APC.
“If you were in Enugu two days ago during the zonal congresses, it was filled with enthusiasm. It was filled with joy. You know, too many stakeholders, too many party faithfuls, even non APC members attended that event. It was an awesome one.
“The President has done a whole lot for Nigerians and more especially in the South-East. Are you talking about the road construction? Are you talking about industrialization? You know he has done a whole lot. That’s why you see some governors, for example, Governor Soludo of Anambra State, he’s supporting President Bola Tinubu, even though he’s APGA. You know, Governor Otti of Abia State has said this publicly, you know that his policies are truly interwoven with that of Mr. President. The President has done a whole lot in the area of industrialization. A lot is going on.”
