An All Progressives Congress (APC) support group, Atiku Bagudu Grassroots Network for Tinubu 2027, has announced plans to step up its mobilization efforts for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027. The group, led by its convener, Ali Oriri, aims to set up a strong grassroots structure across the 19 Northern states to garner support for the President. This move is part of the group's strategy to ensure a successful re-election bid for Tinubu.

The support group has appointed the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Atiku Bagudu, as its patron. According to Oriri, the group's target is to mobilize 19 million votes for President Tinubu in the North. The group's support for Tinubu's re-election is based on his administration's efforts to reposition the economy, strengthen infrastructure, and implement reforms aimed at creating a more sustainable fiscal foundation for Nigeria.

Oriri attributed the group's support for Tinubu's re-election to the administration's efforts to address longstanding structural challenges in the Nigerian economy. He cited the removal of fuel subsidy, foreign exchange reforms, and ongoing fiscal and tax reforms as necessary measures to achieve this goal. Although these decisions have been difficult, Oriri believes they are crucial for the country's economic growth.

The administration's efforts to increase revenue and strengthen public finances through fiscal and tax reforms have also been highlighted by Oriri as significant achievements. He emphasized that these reforms are part of the administration's efforts to create a more sustainable economic environment. The support group will take its campaign to communities across the 19 Northern states, engaging with traditional, religious, youth, and community leaders as part of its grassroots mobilization strategy.

As part of its mobilization efforts, the group will engage with various stakeholders in the Northern states. This approach aims to ensure that the administration's achievements and policies are well-communicated to the grassroots level. By doing so, the group hopes to secure massive support for Tinubu's re-election bid.

The Atiku Bagudu Grassroots Network for Tinubu 2027 is confident that its strategy will yield positive results. With a strong grassroots structure in place, the group is poised to make a significant impact in the 2027 general election. The appointment of Atiku Bagudu as the group's patron is expected to further boost its mobilization efforts.

The support group's efforts to mobilize support for Tinubu's re-election are based on the administration's track record. With a focus on economic repositioning, infrastructure strengthening, and fiscal reforms, the group believes that Tinubu's re-election is crucial for Nigeria's continued growth and development.
