The Atiku Bagudu Grassroots Network for Tinubu 2027 has denied claims that the 'Tinubu Must Go' campaign is gaining traction in Northern Nigeria. According to Hon. Ali Oriri, the network's efforts are gathering momentum ahead of the 2027 general election, with grassroots structures being strengthened across northern states to secure support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election. The group attributed the support to the administration's investments in infrastructure, efforts to tackle insecurity, and economic reforms.
Oriri described attempts to portray isolated expressions of dissatisfaction as a widespread northern revolt against Tinubu as exaggerated. He argued that ongoing road construction, power projects, and renewed security initiatives are helping to sustain confidence in the administration among sections of the northern population. The network cited highway construction, rail development, and investments in security infrastructure as evidence that the Federal Government is addressing some of the concerns frequently raised by critics.
The Atiku Bagudu Grassroots Network for Tinubu 2027 said Northern Nigeria remains a crucial political constituency. The group maintains that engagements with traditional institutions, youth groups, women's organisations, and local political stakeholders are central to its mobilisation strategy. It also pledged to counter misinformation about the administration's performance by highlighting projects and initiatives it believes could improve living conditions across the region.
Oriri acknowledged that Nigerians continue to face challenges arising from the high cost of living and insecurity. However, he cited the administration's deliberate investments in roads that link markets, the push to improve electricity transmission, and the operational successes being recorded by security agencies as evidence of progress. The network argued that public assessments of the President's performance in the North should consider both the challenges confronting communities and the administration's ongoing development and security initiatives.
The group accused promoters of the 'Tinubu Must Go' campaign of exploiting public frustration without presenting a coherent alternative to the country's economic and security challenges. Oriri maintained that continuity in leadership is necessary to consolidate the gains recorded under Tinubu. He said the people of the North understand that sustainable progress requires continuity of purposeful leadership.
The Atiku Bagudu Grassroots Network for Tinubu 2027 will intensify town hall meetings, community outreach programmes, and consultations with stakeholders across northern states in the coming months. This is part of efforts to expand its support base ahead of the elections. Oriri reaffirmed the network's commitment to Tinubu's re-election bid, arguing that continuity would allow the administration more time to consolidate its infrastructure and security initiatives.
Oriri said the network stands firmly with Tinubu because it believes continuity is essential for the gains already recorded in infrastructure and security to be fully realised. He added that the network will not allow a campaign built on frustration alone to define the political conversation in the North. The group is mobilising support for Tinubu's re-election in 2027, with a focus on sustaining progress and addressing longstanding structural challenges.
