Chairman of Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra state, 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 who made the call on Wednesday, highlighted the growing infrastructure footprint of the Federal Government in Anambra, describing them 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 are the approved dualisation of the 108-kilometre Otuocha-Anam-Abaji Road, the 150-km Oba-Nnewi-Uga-Ihube/Okigwe Junction Road, the 9-km extension of the Benin-Asaba expressway to the Second Niger Bridge and the rehabilitation of the First Niger Bridge,” he hinted.

According to Azubuike, 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.

He described the projects as 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 added.

While urging people of the state to shun partisan considerations and remain united behind Soludo’s development agenda while supporting Tinubu’s re-election bid, the Council boss said continuity, cooperation and constructive engagement were critical to achieving sustainable development.

He expressed optimism that greater synergy between Federal and State Governments would accelerate infrastructure development, economic growth, security, investment and opportunities for Nigerians.

“The future we desire requires partnership, not unnecessary confrontation. Progressive forces must continue to work together toward building a more connected and prosperous Nigeria.

Let us support development, strengthen the relationship between Anambra State and the Federal Government, and give President Bola Ahmed Tinubu the opportunity to continue the work in 2027,” he stressed.
