Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has warned that ongoing federal projects in the South-East could be discontinued if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu fails to secure re-election in 2027.
The governor made the statement while addressing supporters at an All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State. He also called on residents to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards ahead of the January 16, 2027 election.
Uzodimma tells residents to get their PVCs
Speaking at the rally, Uzodimma urged people across the South-East to support Tinubu’s second-term ambition, arguing that the region needed continuity to complete several development projects.
He said many of the projects initiated by the federal government were still under construction, making another term for the president important to their completion.
The governor asked residents, including young people, parents and other eligible voters, to take their PVCs seriously and use them during the election.
In his words:
“Our responsibility will start from now to go and look for our PVC. That is the weapon, because if Bola Tinubu is not re-elected, all these ongoing projects will stop.”»
Governor speaks on projects in the South-East
Uzodimma also referred to infrastructure projects highlighted by Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru and Minister of Works David Umahi.
He maintained that voting for Tinubu would help ensure the completion of the projects and urged residents not to allow political sentiments to influence their decisions.

He encouraged voters to support the ruling party if they wanted the projects mentioned at the rally to continue.

The rally also featured Vice-President Kashim Shettima, Umahi, Nwifuru and other APC leaders, who highlighted what they described as the achievements of Tinubu’s administration.

Umahi also called for support for Tinubu, while the APC campaign leadership expressed confidence in the party’s chances in Ebonyi State.
