A chieftain of All Progressives Congress, APC, in Delta State, Victor Ogba says there are numerous reasons why the people of South-South geopolitical zone should support the second term bid of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Ogba, who doubles as the President, Movement for National Transformation, MNT, spoke in an interview with newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said that Tinubu’s administration had introduced “bold economic reforms and massive infrastructural projects,” especially in the South-South including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.
“Tinubu has tackled the issues that many of his predecessors could not handle due to lack of courage as president.
“For instance, the fuel subsidy which was a fiscal sinkhole and the Central Bank’s mismanagement under the previous administration that fuelled capital flight and currency speculation,” he said.
Ogba said that the courage in dismantling economic distortions must now be matched by creativity and compassion in building a socially inclusive recovery.
He commended President Tinubu for showing courage and prudence in leadership by redirecting funds to where they are necessary.
Ogba lauded Tinubu for bolstering key areas such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, humanitarian aides and security especially in the South-South area.
He described as a landmark achievement the decision to unify the country’s multiple exchange rates, saying that it raised the government’s revenues.
