The campaign reaches Abakaliki
At the rally in Abakaliki, with Vice President Shettima, Senator Yari asked young people and women in Ebonyi to stand behind President Tinubu.
The APC Presidential Campaign Council, led by its Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, came to Abakaliki on 9 November 2026 for the rally at the Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium. Vice President Kashim Shettima represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and Governor Francis Nwifuru hosted the campaign.
Senator Yari called on young people and women in the state to support the President. He named the appointment of Senator David Umahi as Minister of Works as one reason Ebonyi should stand with him.
Speakers also pointed to federal road work in the South-East. Minister Umahi said the 65-kilometre road linking Afikpo in Ebonyi to Uturu in Abia and Okigwe in Imo is 40 per cent complete. Vice President Shettima assured the people of the South-East that ongoing federal projects will be completed.
Governor Nwifuru said the Tinubu government had changed the South-East's infrastructure through projects across the region, many supervised by Minister Umahi. He asked the Federal Government to connect the southern part of the state to the national grid and to complete the proposed railway linking Ebonyi to Aba and Port Harcourt.
He also spoke about his own administration's work: medical equipment and revived health centres across the state's 13 local governments, new teachers, the start of work on the Abakaliki cement factory, and 314 state scholars who have earned master's degrees abroad.
