Kogi East APC leaders endorse Tinubu for second term ahead of 2027

Leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress in Kogi East Senatorial District have declared their support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.

The endorsement, announced in a statement on Friday, also included the re-election bid of Senator Jibrin Isah, popularly known as Echocho, who represents the district in the National Assembly. The stakeholders cited the senator’s impactful constituency projects and grassroots interventions as key reasons for their support.

According to the group’s representative, Ibrahim Mohammed, Senator Echocho’s performance in office has strengthened the APC’s standing in Kogi East and positioned the party for a strong electoral outing in the zone.

The stakeholders noted that the senator’s developmental initiatives in education, agriculture, and rural infrastructure have resonated well with constituents. They highlighted several projects, including the donation of school buses, renovation of schools, distribution of learning materials, provision of farming equipment to farmers, financial support for vulnerable residents, and the installation of boreholes and electricity transformers in several communities.

The group stated that these projects reflect the broader objectives of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which focuses on economic recovery, infrastructure development, and social welfare.

Senator Isah is currently serving his second term in the Senate on the APC platform. Kogi East Senatorial District, which comprises nine local government areas, remains one of the key political blocs in Kogi State due to its voting strength and strategic influence.

The stakeholders reaffirmed their commitment to grassroots mobilisation and expressed confidence that the APC would secure victory in Kogi East in 2027.
