Chief Tony Nwobodo, a key figure in the All Progressives Congress from Enugu South, expressed concerns regarding the political attitude of the South-East leading up to the 2027 general elections. He emphasized that regional voters must avoid being swayed by sentiments and focus on the actual performance of the administration under President Bola Tinubu. Nwobodo specifically cautioned fellow party members and constituents to base their support on the president's achievements rather than traditional kinship ties or emotional propaganda.

During a recent visit to the local government chairman in Enugu, Nwobodo stated that the South-East would make a strategic error if it fails to support Tinubu for a second term. Citing his personal success, he described himself as a “multimillionaire” due to the rise in his property values linked to the current government’s policies. This personal stake, he argues, should resonate with the public, reflecting the positive impact of the government on individual prosperity and urging voters to consider the broader implications of their electoral choices.

Nwobodo insists on the necessity of unity in the region as they approach the elections, asserting that collective action in favor of the incumbent could yield significant returns for the South-East. He warned against heeding divisive narratives and urged constituents to recognize the benefits of stable governance and consistent leadership, framing the upcoming election as a pivotal moment to either secure continued advancement or regress into past mistakes.
