Enugu APC urges residents to verify political claims

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State urged residents to verify political information before accepting or sharing it ahead of the 2027 general elections. Spokesperson Steve Oruruo addressed the dispute over the management of Amadeo Event Centre and a proposed town hall involving New Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi, saying the facility issue concerned a private agreement. He cautioned against blaming the state government without verified information and urged political stakeholders to focus on candidates’ ideas, policies and ability to govern. Oruruo also pointed to Governor Peter Mbah’s administration’s development programmes and encouraged residents to assess parties’ proposals and records.

They say it could weaken Senegal’s credibility with partners and complicate talks with the IMF over a $2.2 billion financing program spanning 36 months. Public debt has been reassessed at nearly 130% of GDP, while Moody’s downgraded Senegal’s sovereign rating to Caa2 after an earlier $1.8 billion IMF program was frozen.
