_Group Declares “Southeast is for Tinubu” in 2027_

 

AWKA, Anambra State – A pro-Tinubu support group, ‘Relax, Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria’ (RTIFN), has taken its 2027 campaign to the Southeast, holding a major town hall meeting in Anambra State to mobilize support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election.

The event, held on Friday at the 12,000-capacity International Conference Center, ICC, Awka, was filled to capacity with youths and women dominating the crowd.

   

The South-East Coordinator of ‘Relax, Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria’ (RTIFN), High Chief Engr. John Bosco Onunkwo, declared that President Bola Tinubu deserves a second term to consolidate his reforms, saying the President met Nigeria “in the intensive care unit” and is administering the right cure.

Onunkwo who doubles as the convener of the rally said the RTIFN town hall meeting was a huge success despite the early downpour.

“Today’s meeting is so successful. Despite the early downfall, all members of Relax Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria turned out for this town hall meeting. This is just an entry behavior,” he said.

Describing himself as “a grassrooter, Grand Commander of Anambra Youth and Grand Patron of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Worldwide,” Onunkwo said RTIFN, in collaboration with the City Boy Movement, is working to ensure Tinubu wins convincingly in Anambra and across the Southeast in 2027.

“What he’s doing, no other president has done it because he’s a president from the city. That’s why they call him the city boy. It’s a city boy movement,” he said.

“We are doing all we can to make sure that Tinubu, our president, wins convincingly in Anambra state, convincingly in Southeast. Of course, with the collaboration of our state governors, we are making sure that everything will go according to plan.”

Onunkwo defended the administration’s tough economic policies, saying they were necessary to save the country.

“PTOB is running. He’s our brother and he’s qualified to run. But what we are saying is that our president, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, inherited a country when a man is sick.

He came in when Nigeria was sick and our sickness was so severe that he was not giving us Panadol. Panadol does not cure. He went into total curative of our country by taking us to the intensive care unit of the hospital. That intensive care unit is the reforms he instituted.

The fuel subsidy remover, the stabilization of the economy. It looks harsh, but that was the only way out to stop the other cabals that used to do that,” he said.

He added: “Government is an executive committee that manages the common affairs of the bourgeois. They used to say that government is a conspiratorial gang. But our president and commander-in-chief, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu came in and said enough is enough.”

The RTIFN coordinator said Nigerians are already seeing results from the reforms and urged support for a second term.

“We are saying that he needs more four years to consolidate. By 2027 ending, Nigerians will not see the dividends. Of course, it has started. You are seeing the kind of infrastructure he’s doing that will outlive our generation,” Onunkwo stated.

He said the group will continue grassroots mobilization across the South-East to ensure the Renewed Hope Agenda delivers for the region.

On his part, a patron of the support group, Barrister Donald Chidi Amambo, while calling for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027, said the administration needs more time to consolidate policies that are already yielding results.

Amambo said the President should be given another four years to execute ongoing projects across the country.

“It’s a very simple name and it tells a message. To Relax, Nigeria needs to be fixed now. Can it be done overnight? Absolutely not. Do you need more time to begin to make the fundamental changes that Nigeria needs to move forward? Yes,” he said.

Amambo faulted the communication around the President’s achievements, saying many Nigerians have not taken time to assess what the government has done.

“The thing about Nigerians is we do not actually take time to look into the political players in the country and find out what they are doing. And, to be honest with you, I blame some of the people around the President. They did not actually tell the story of the things he has done,” he stated.

The legal practitioner said he took time to review the administration’s records and found substantial progress.

“I took time to look at it. Over 300 and something projects, real projects that will fundamentally change Nigeria has been implemented by this government. And if that’s the case, we need continuity in government, we need continuity in governance,” Amambo said.

He acknowledged that no government is perfect, but stressed that the current administration is result-oriented.

“Are they a perfect set of political actors? Absolutely not. Nobody is perfect. I am not, you are not. But are they result-oriented? The answer is yes. We need somebody that understands the economy, that understands the needs of the people and is prepared to do what it takes, the sleepless night it takes to ensure that Nigeria begins to make progress,” he said.

Amambo urged Nigerians to look beyond political rhetoric and support continuity.

“Forget all the political talk from political players. At the end of the day, he has been there for four years. He understands the challenges Nigeria faces. He understands what is possible and what is just political promise.

So I think for me personally, the President should be given another four years to execute some of these policies that are beginning to yield results around the country,” he concluded.

The RTIFN town hall in Awka drew youths, women and stakeholders from across the South-East as part of grassroots mobilization ahead of 2027.

The National Director, Town Hall and Special Duties, Dr. Farida Ibrahim, commended Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, for providing an atmosphere conducive for the meeting.

She urged Nigerians to play politics without rancour and called on *Ndigbo to embrace the ongoing developments by Tinubu in the region.

The Director General, Ahmed Bola, was represented by the National Secretary and Chief of Staff of RTIFN, Eleojo Audu.

Coordinators from Ebonyi, Enugu, Anambra, Abia and Imo states also spoke, vowing to make the President and the APC proud in 2027.

The group paid tribute to oil magnate, Prince Arthur Eze, describing him as a pillar of support for Tinubu’s re-election bid.

RTIFN said the town hall meetings would continue across the Southeast as part of grassroots mobilization ahead of 2027.
