Thousands of supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) converged on the Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium in Abakaliki on Monday for the party’s presidential campaign rally in support of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in the 2027 general election.
The Ebonyi State capital witnessed heightened political activity as party leaders, members and supporters gathered at the venue to receive the APC’s campaign message ahead of the presidential poll scheduled for January 16, 2027.
By 11 a.m., the 15,000-capacity stadium had reached full capacity, with supporters occupying virtually every available seat, including the VIP section. Many others who were unable to gain access to the stands remained around the stadium precincts, while more party faithful continued to arrive.
The atmosphere was lively, with supporters dressed in APC-branded outfits waving party flags, singing solidarity songs and displaying placards bearing images of President Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru, Minister of Works David Umahi and other prominent party figures.
The Old Enugu Road leading to the venue also experienced heavy movement as streams of supporters made their way to the rally grounds.
The event is expected to focus on the APC’s “Renewed Hope” agenda, with Vice-President Shettima representing President Tinubu at the gathering. Top party leaders, elected officials and stakeholders are also expected to address attendees.
Among those billed to speak are Governor Nwifuru, Minister Umahi, APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, National Secretary Ajibola Basiru and the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Abdulaziz Yari.
Party leaders are expected to use the rally to highlight the Tinubu administration’s achievements in infrastructure development, economic reforms and governance while presenting arguments for another term in office.
The Abakaliki rally forms part of the APC’s nationwide campaign tour aimed at engaging voters across the six geopolitical zones and mobilising support ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The event comes amid increasing political activity and realignments among parties seeking to strengthen their positions before the polls.
