George Agbakahi, coordinator of the President Bola Tinubu Support Group, says many people in Nigeria’s South-East now believe the region got its 2023 election choices wrong and are beginning to reconsider their political direction ahead of 2027.
Speaking on The Morning Show on Arise Television, Agbakahi noted a growing shift toward the All Progressives Congress (APC), with increased interest from both party members and non-members across the region.
“Many in the South-East now realise 2023 was a misstep. There’s a clearer direction going forward, and that direction is APC,” he said.
He pointed to the recent APC zonal congress in Enugu as evidence of this changing sentiment, describing the turnout and participation as a sign of renewed enthusiasm for the party.
Agbakahi also praised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, highlighting developments in infrastructure and industrialisation, particularly in the South-East.
According to him, some governors in the region — despite belonging to other parties — have shown support or alignment with the president’s policies, which he says is contributing to the shifting political mood.
