From Obinna Odogwu, Awka
The Chairman of Orumba South Local Government Area, Hon. Shedrack Azubuike, has urged Nigerians across the 774 Local Government Areas to support the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Azubuike made the call while highlighting the growing infrastructure footprint of the Federal Government in Anambra, which he described as evidence of the benefits of collaboration and constructive leadership.
He said the cordial working relationship between Tinubu and Governor Chukwuma Soludo had created opportunities for the state to attract strategic federal projects, investments and development initiatives.
The chairman listed some of the federal interventions in the state to include the Second Niger Bridge and the ongoing 17-kilometre dualised access road. Others, he said, were the approved dualisation of the 108-kilometre Otuocha-Anam-Abaji Road and the 150-kilometre Oba-Nnewi-Uga-Ihube/Okigwe Junction Road.
He also mentioned the nine-kilometre extension of the Benin-Asaba Expressway to the Second Niger Bridge and the rehabilitation of the First Niger Bridge. He explained that the rehabilitation of the First Niger Bridge includes the replacement of vandalised structural components as well as the installation of solar-powered streetlights and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras.
Azubuike said the projects were strategic investments that would strengthen connectivity, facilitate trade, and boost economic activities in the state.
“These projects are evidence that when the state and federal governments work together, our people stand to benefit. We must continue to encourage cooperation that will bring more development, investment and opportunities to Anambra,” he said.
The chairman urged Ndi Anambra to look beyond partisan considerations and remain united behind Soludo’s development agenda while supporting Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid. He said continuity, cooperation, and constructive engagement were critical to achieving sustainable development.
“The future we desire requires partnership, not unnecessary confrontation. Let us support development, strengthen the relationship between Anambra State and the Federal Government, and give President Bola Tinubu the opportunity to continue the work in 2027,” he said.
Azubuike expressed optimism that greater collaboration between the Federal and State Governments would accelerate infrastructure development, economic growth, security, investment, and opportunities for Nigerians.
He urged progressive forces to continue working together toward building a more connected and prosperous Nigeria.
