Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu West Senatorial District have pledged their full support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Renewed Hope Agenda, reaffirming their commitment to ensuring his re-election in the 2027 general elections.

In a communiqué issued at the end of their stakeholders’ meeting held at the Golden Royale Hotel, Enugu, the group also welcomed the reported defection of Enugu State Governor, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, to the APC, describing the move as a major political milestone that would reposition the state within Nigeria’s mainstream political structure.

The communiqué, read by the 2023 House of Assembly candidate for Udi North, Barr. Godwin Onwusi, was jointly signed by notable party leaders including Prof. Nick Ezeh, Vin Martin Iloh, Barr. Ekene Nwankwo, Barr. Godwin Onwusi, Ebubeagu Felix Okafor, Barr. Ejike Ajana, Mr. Daniel Uzoigwe, Chief Charles Ezechime, Chief Emeka Udeh, Mr. Austin Okpaku, Dr. E.L. Ajah Ogbonnaya, Engr. Ben Eche, and Comrade Samuel Okonkwo.

The stakeholders commended the APC National Working Committee (NWC) for dissolving what they described as the “cantankerous and divisive” Enugu State Executive Committee led by Ugochukwu Agballa, saying the decision had opened the door for unity and reconciliation within the state chapter of the party.

“We pledge our unwavering support and loyalty to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and his Renewed Hope Agenda. Furthermore, we reaffirm our commitment to ensure that Mr. President is re-elected in 2027,” the communiqué read.

The group also hailed the appointment of Dr. Ben Nwoye and Rt. Hon. Eugene Odoh as Chairman and Secretary, respectively, of the APC Caretaker Committee in Enugu State. They expressed confidence in the capacity of the committee to reposition the party for success.

“We congratulate the Chairman and Secretary of the Caretaker Committee, as well as other members—H.E. Fidelia Akuabata Njeze, Dr. Chiedozie Nelson Nwafor, Dr. Oby Ajih, Engr. Obinna Ekeh, and Mr. Peter Chime,” the statement added.

The stakeholders called on all APC members across Enugu State to rally behind the Caretaker Committee to strengthen the party ahead of upcoming elections.

They concluded that Governor Mbah’s entry into the APC fold represents a significant political gain that will enhance the party’s prospects and influence both in Enugu State and at the national level.
