The National Coordinator of the All Progressives Grand Alliance Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe, has warned Anambra voters against rejecting President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.

This came following Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s endorsement of the President’s re-election bid.

Obigwe described voting for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, as a wasted vote, warning that those who choose to support him should be prepared for the consequences of an electoral defeat.

He urged voters in the state and the wider South-East to support Tinubu’s second-term ambition, arguing that doing so would enable Anambra to negotiate for greater development support from the Federal Government.

Obigwe made the remarks in a statement issued in Awka on Wednesday, where he advised voters to put aside what he described as emotional sentiments and support Tinubu’s re-election.

He also stressed the importance of Anambra votes in the 2027 election, citing Soludo’s position that votes could serve as a bargaining tool in politics.

The statement read, “Anybody in Anambra joking with Governor Soludo’s advice with regard to the forthcoming 2027 general election is doing so to the detriment of our state and also to his or her own peril.

“If you already know that Peter Obi will not win the 2027 general election and still decide to vote for him so that you will fail the election with him, you should as well get ready to face the consequence of failure.

“The best thing for Anambra voters and Igbo at large to do is to do away with the whipping of emotional sentiment and get it right by voting for President Bola Tinubu for his well deserved second term in office re election.
