A pro-All Progressive Congress (APC) political support group, Yari 4 Tinubu-Shettima 2027, has initiated a nationwide grassroots mobilisation programme in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima. The group aims to build grassroots support for the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections. This mobilisation effort will cover all 774 local government areas across Nigeria.
The national coordinator of the group, Dr. Francis Chidozie Okoye, stated that the initiative will communicate the administration's policies and achievements to voters at the grassroots level. The first phase of the zonal mobilisation will begin in the South-East on October 9, 2026, with a flag-off event at the International Conference Centre in Enugu. This phase will also cover other locations, including Kaduna, Ondo, Benue, Zamfara, Akwa Ibom, Yobe, and the Federal Capital Territory.
The group's mobilisation strategy involves establishing support structures down to the polling-unit level. They also announced an initiative called "Operation Deliver Your Polling Unit," which includes door-to-door and community-level engagements with voters. This approach aims to strengthen the APC's grassroots presence and ensure a strong showing in the 2027 elections.
The group expressed support for the appointment of former Zamfara State Governor, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, as director-general of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. They described him as capable of coordinating the party's campaign ahead of the election. This appointment has been widely commended, with some party chieftains believing it will strengthen the party's preparations for the 2027 general elections.
Yari 4 Tinubu-Shettima 2027 commended the Tinubu administration for its economic and infrastructure policies. They highlighted the activities of several Federal Executive Council members, including ministers of Works, Interior, Finance, Foreign Affairs, FCT, Solid Minerals Development, and Industry, Trade and Investment. The group urged Nigerians who support the administration to join their mobilisation efforts.
The 2027 general elections are scheduled to take place next year, and political parties and support groups are expected to intensify grassroots activities as the electoral cycle progresses. With this nationwide mobilisation programme, Yari 4 Tinubu-Shettima 2027 aims to ensure a strong showing for the APC in the upcoming elections.
As the mobilisation effort gains momentum, the group is expected to engage with voters across Nigeria, promoting the APC's policies and achievements. The success of this programme will likely depend on the group's ability to effectively communicate the administration's vision and build a strong grassroots support base.
