“Victory shall be ours in 2027. We will also pray for Mr. President that his second term is assured,” he declared.

PGF Chairman and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, emphasized the importance of party unity, likening governance to a shared responsibility.
“The success of the government is our collective success. We must market this government like a product,” he stated.
Finance Minister Wale Edun also spoke at the event, highlighting the administration’s economic achievements, including:
- Reducing inflation
- Stabilizing the exchange rate
- Lowering food and energy prices
He credited Tinubu’s bold policies for these improvements and reiterated the government’s commitment to supporting the poor and vulnerable.
The dinner was attended by top APC leaders, including National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, governors, lawmakers, and members of the party’s National Working Committee.
