A political support group, South East Renewed Hope Agenda (SERHA), has announced the allocation of N200 million towards the purchase of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential nomination form and other campaign logistics for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

The announcement was made during the inauguration and empowerment of the Imo State chapter of the group held in Owerri on Saturday, where the National Coordinator of SERHA, Belusochukwu Enwere, reaffirmed the group’s commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda and its grassroots mobilisation campaign across the South-East region.

Speaking at the event, Enwere stressed the group’s objective of re-electing President Tinubu in 2027, describing him as a “performing president” whose leadership has brought renewed focus on infrastructure, education, and inclusive governance in the region.

“As ambassadors of Renewed Hope, we are tasked with working tirelessly towards the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027,” he declared. “Today, we present a cheque of N200 million for the purchase of the presidential nomination form and associated logistics.”

The event also highlighted several federal initiatives benefiting the South-East, including the recently approved $3 billion Eastern Rail Line project.

Enwere praised the railway development as the most significant federal infrastructure investment in the region’s history, aimed at boosting trade, reducing transport costs, and addressing long-standing issues of regional marginalisation.

He also commended the creation of the South East Development Commission (SEDC), which he said would focus on road construction, erosion control, and regional economic development.

Enwere acknowledged the contributions of iconic leaders from Imo State, including the late Chief Sam Mbakwe and Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, and applauded Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, for his developmental strides under the 3R Agenda.

The event, which marked the final stage of the SERHA South-East tour, included the distribution of empowerment tools such as motorcycles, minibuses, sewing machines, hairdressing kits, and cash support to local residents as part of efforts to encourage self-reliance.

Enwere revealed that the group would begin a comprehensive tour of all 95 local government areas and 2,344 wards across the five South-East states starting in August to rally grassroots support for Tinubu’s re-election.

“This is the turn of Southern Nigeria to complete our eight years. The people of the South-East will not back down to ensure Tinubu’s victory in 2027,” he said. (The Guardian)
