Hon. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, Minister of State for Labour, has dismissed concerns over the newly formed African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, insisting that President Bola Tinubu will secure a landslide victory in 2027.
Onyejeocha said the president deserves an eight-year mandate to consolidate on his achievements in economic reforms and governance.
She spoke during the 18th edition of her annual free medical and surgical outreach at the Madam Susana Mba Health Centre in Amuda Isuochi, Umunneochi LGA of Abia state.
“The president should be supported for eight years. Progress comes with economic stability, and I know he will win 100%,” she said.
The minister cited global recognition of Tinubu’s economic policies, including commendations from Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
She also highlighted the administration’s record in fostering industrial harmony by addressing organised labour’s concerns.
“Government is engaging with labour, unlike before now. The wage award of last year has just been paid, and that is why we have industrial peace,” she said.
Onyejeocha said her medical outreach, which has been extended beyond its initial one-week schedule due to high turnout, has performed over 200 surgeries and booked treatment for more than 5,000 patients.
She explained that the initiative was designed to complement federal and state efforts in the health sector.
