A political support group, the South East Renewed Hope Agenda (SERHA), has set aside N200 million to purchase the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential nomination form and support other campaign logistics for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
The National Coordinator of SERHA, Hon. Belusochukwu Enwere, announced this at the inauguration and empowerment of the Imo State chapter of the group, which was held in Owerri over the weekend.
He reaffirmed the group’s commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda and its grassroots mobilisation campaign across the South-East region.
Enwere emphasised 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.
“Today, we present a cheque of N200 million for the purchase of the presidential nomination form and associated logistics,” he said.
Enwere highlighted several federal initiatives benefiting the South-East, including the recently approved $3 billion Eastern Rail Line project.
He hailed the railway development as the most significant federal infrastructure investment in the region’s history, aimed at boosting trade, reducing transport costs, and addressing longstanding issues of regional marginalisation.
Enwere 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.
He acknowledged the contributions of iconic leaders from Imo State, including the late Sam Mbakwe and Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, and lauded the Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, for his developmental strides under the ‘3R’ agenda.
It was revealed that the group would commence a comprehensive tour of all 95 local government areas and 2,344 wards across the five South-East states, starting in August, to galvanise 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 event, which marked the final leg of the SERHA South-East tour, featured the distribution of empowerment tools such as motorcycles, mini buses, sewing machines, hairdressing kits, and cash support to local residents as part of efforts to promote self-reliance.
