Prominent leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State have started a grassroots campaign to re-elect President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027. The initiative was unveiled at a town hall meeting organized by Win With Tinubu (WWT), a grassroots mobilization group, at the Atiele Oma Idoko Hall in Ankpa. The event brought together various stakeholders, including traditional rulers, community leaders, professionals, women, youths, and grassroots supporters.
The Chief Media Strategist of WWT in Kogi State, Musa Bakare, stated that the meeting aimed to mobilize support for the continuity of Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda beyond 2027. The agenda includes economic reforms and programs focused on infrastructure, education, agriculture, and healthcare. Participants at the meeting resolved to take the Renewed Hope message to the grassroots and support efforts to sustain the administration beyond 2027.
The town hall meeting is part of a broader grassroots mobilization effort for Tinubu's re-election. The WWT entourage, led by State Program Coordinator Hon. Sanni Phillips, visited the palaces of traditional rulers, including the Onu Ankpa and the Ẹjẹ Ankpa, Alhaji Abubakar Ahmed Yakubu. The team included notable APC members, such as Rtd. AIG Yaro Abutu and former Member of the House of Representatives, Dr. Kashim Akor.
The campaign emphasizes the importance of continuity in Tinubu's governance direction, which they believe deserves time to mature. WWT argues that abandoning reforms and development programs halfway would be counterproductive. The group advocates for completing ongoing projects, consolidating economic reforms, and expanding programs in education, agriculture, and healthcare.
The significance of the Ankpa town hall meeting extends beyond the federal constituency, as it demonstrates that the 2027 political conversation is moving deeper into communities across Kogi State. The meeting provided an opportunity for grassroots engagement, political enlightenment, and discussions on the administration's policies and programs.
WWT's strategy involves taking the campaign for continuity directly to the people, rather than relying on political offices or social media platforms. The group believes that sustainable development cannot be discussed effectively without listening to communities and recognizing the role of traditional institutions in grassroots society.
The 2027 election will generate competing political arguments, but WWT is presenting a straightforward proposition to the people of Kogi: do not stop a journey when the destination has not yet been reached. The group believes that President Tinubu deserves another opportunity to consolidate the Renewed Hope Agenda, and the Ankpa town hall meeting demonstrates the growing momentum for his re-election.
