A support group, Patriotic Movement for Asiwaju 2023 (PMA), has kicked off what they described as house-to-house campaigns for the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and all other candidates of the party in Ebonyi State.

Speaking Tuesday during the flag-off ceremony, the National Secretary of the group, Mr Uchechukwu Okafor, noted that the South East zone was very strategic for the realization of Tinubu’s presidential ambition.

He noted that the choice of Ebonyi State for the flag-off of the event was due to the landmark achievement of the APC-led administration in the state.

Okafor expressed optimism that Tinubu would address all the security challenges confronting the nation and revamping all the critical sectors in the country.

“Today is not a day for long speeches. We have come to flag-off house-to-house campaign for our Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in Ebonyi state. Wherever you go, tell people about the potentials of having Tinubu as our President in 2023. We have to support him and APC candidates in Ebonyi State.

“Ebonyi State is strategic in National politics, especially the emergence of Tinubu’s Presidency. We are overwhelmed with the achievements of the APC government in Ebonyi and it has become a campaign point in Nigeria.

“The administration of Engr. David Umahi in Ebonyi State has marketed the fortunes of APC beyond political campaigns,” Okafor said.

Ebonyi State Coordinator of the Group, Mr. Darlington Okpoto, applauded the National Campaign Council of the APC for appointing Ebonyi State Governor as the Southern Coordinator of Tinubu’s Presidential campaign.

He noted that Tinubu’s aspiration has become a movement in the zone and further assured that he would galvanize support for the emergence of all candidates of the party in the zone.

Okpoto, who is also the South East Supervisor of the group, noted that APC would also capture Abia and Enugu states in 2023.

He further called on leaders of the party in the zone to close ranks and work harmoniously for the victory of the APC presidential candidate in 2023.
