The Tinubu Support Group (TSG), in South-South says it will massively mobilise votes in the region for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Sen. Williams Eteng, the Deputy Director-General, TSG, South-South, made the expression in an interview with newsmen in Calabar on Monday.
Eteng, who represents Cross River Central at the National Assembly, said that the group would embark on aggressive grassroots mobilisation campaign across the region.
He said that the campaign would be taken to the doorsteps of people across all communities and local government areas in the region.
The senator said that Tinubu’s projects and interventions in the South-South had made the group’s task of mobilising support for him easier.
He particularly commended Tinubu for the reconstruction work on the Calabar-Itu Highway.
“This road has been an unresolved challenge that faced successive administrations for more than 15 years.
“As I speak with you, we are back to the good old days where you can drive from Calabar to Akwa Ibom with ease,” he said.
Eteng also identified the ongoing Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway as a major project for which the region should appreciate the president.
“We need to use our votes to appreciate the president for all the projects and interventions in the region,” he said.
It would be recalled that Eteng’s appointment as Deputy Director-General, TGS, South-South was conveyed in a letter dated Sept. 19, and signed by the group’s Convener, James Faleke.
According to the letter, the appointment is in recognition of Eteng’s leadership experience, professional accomplishments, grassroots engagement, and commitment to national development.
As Deputy Director-General, Eteng is expected to support the coordination and mobilisation of TSG activities across the South-South region.
He is also expected to work with relevant stakeholders to advance the objectives of the organisation, and promote the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
