2027: WE ARE CAMPAIGNING WITH POSITIVE RESULTS OF PRESIDENT TINUBU’S POLICIES, NOT NAME-CALLING — DR. IJEOMAH ARODIOGBU
By Felix Oti, Awka
The National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, South-East, Dr. Ijeomah Arodiogbu, MBBS, PhD, has said the party’s 2027 campaign will be anchored on the positive results and impact of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration rather than personal attacks, name-calling or divisive rhetoric.
Dr. Arodiogbu said the APC would approach the 2027 election with a message of accountability, development and verifiable achievements, urging Nigerians to assess the administration based on the policies implemented and their emerging impact on the economy and society.
According to him, political campaigns should be about presenting competing visions for Nigeria and explaining what each administration has achieved, rather than resorting to insults or attempts to distract voters from substantive issues.
“We are campaigning with positive results of President Tinubu’s policies, not name-calling. Nigerians deserve to hear what has been achieved, what is being done differently and how these policies are creating opportunities for the future.”
He said the Tinubu administration inherited significant economic and structural challenges but had demonstrated the political will to undertake difficult reforms aimed at repositioning the Nigerian economy for sustainable growth.
The APC South-East leader particularly highlighted reforms in infrastructure, transportation, investment, energy, healthcare, education and economic management as areas where the administration’s policies should be subjected to public evaluation.
Dr. Arodiogbu maintained that the South-East stands to benefit significantly from continued investment in infrastructure and economic development, stressing that the region needs a stronger partnership with the Federal Government to unlock its commercial and industrial potential.
He called on APC members, supporters and campaigners to focus on communicating the administration’s programmes and achievements to Nigerians while avoiding inflammatory language.
“We should campaign with facts, figures, projects and the experiences of ordinary Nigerians. Where there are challenges, we should acknowledge them and explain the solutions. Where there are achievements, we should communicate them clearly,” he said.
Dr. Arodiogbu also appealed to political leaders across the country to make the 2027 electoral process a contest of ideas, policies and records.
He expressed confidence that Nigerians would ultimately make their choice based on performance, credibility and the direction they believe will best serve the country.
He added that the APC would continue to mobilise citizens across the South-East around the Renewed Hope Agenda and communicate the Federal Government’s development programmes in a responsible and constructive manner.
“The 2027 election should be about Nigeria’s future, not political name-calling. Our responsibility is to tell Nigerians what President Tinubu’s administration is doing, present the results and allow the people to make an informed decision,”_ Dr. Arodiogbu said.
