A major show of grassroots support is building in Enugu State ahead of the 2027 general election, as a political pressure group in the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ifediche Political Family, has unveiled plans for a 10,000-man solidarity march in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Peter Mbah.
The march, scheduled for April 4, at Oji River Urban, is part of a broader mobilisation strategy aimed at consolidating support for the re-election of President Tinubu, while reinforcing Governor Mbah’s development-driven leadership in the state.
Beyond the presidential and governorship endorsements, the rally will also serve as a platform to project the House of Representatives ambition of Dr. Ezenwa A. A. Onyirimba for Aninri/Awgu/Oji River Federal Constituency.
Director General of the group, Dr. Walter Madu, disclosed the plan during the inauguration of local government coordinators and ward executives of the organisation at Sacred Heart Church, Inyi, in Oji River Local Government.
Madu said participants for the march would be mobilised from Aninri, Awgu and Oji River councils, noting that the initiative reflected the vision of the group’s leader to deepen APC’s grassroots presence across Enugu West Senatorial District.
He says the solidarity march is rooted in growing appreciation for President Tinubu’s interventions in the Southeast, particularly in infrastructure renewal and regional development efforts.
According to him, ongoing reconstruction of critical federal roads such as Enugu-Onitsha and Enugu-Port Harcourt expressways, alongside other projects, demonstrate a renewed federal commitment to the region under Tinubu’s leadership.

He highlighted the signing of the South East Development Commission (SEDC) bill into law by the President, describing it as a landmark move expected to channel more resources into the development of the zone.
Madu said such strides had strengthened confidence among grassroots supporters, making a strong case for Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
On the state front, he commended Governor Mbah’s transformation agenda, citing the revival of key state assets, rollout of Smart Schools and Type-2 healthcare facilities across wards, and improved urban transportation through the BRT system.
The group also pointed to Onyirimba’s ongoing community interventions, including borehole rehabilitation, agricultural support programmes and youth-focused digital training initiatives, as evidence of his readiness for national legislative responsibilities.
Leaders of the group, including the women and youth wings, pledged full mobilisation for the solidarity march, expressing confidence that turnout would exceed expectations as residents rallied behind President Tinubu’s leadership and the APC’s vision for continued progress.
