An “All Support Groups for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu” has been formed under the All Progressives Congress (APC) as part of a volunteer network to unify a coalition dedicated to securing 27 million votes and a decisive mandate for the the President in next year’s election.
The national co-ordinator/CEO of the coalition, Hon. Mukhtar Bala Ibrahim, who addressed a press conference in Abuja, said the All Support Groups has over 375 l associations and support groups registered under the platform which includes commodities associations, transport unions, artisans, traditional and religious leaders.
He said the coalition, which is powered by the secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, has set an ambitious goal to mobilise 27 million votes across the 36 states of the federation and the FCT. “This figure is not arbitrary; it represents a strategic threshold aimed at ensuring an overwhelming and undisputed majority. By targeting 27 million votes, the support groups intend to exceed previous election records, banking on a “bottom-up” approach that focuses on deep rural penetration and urban engagement,” he said
Ibrahim added that the coalition strategy involves bringing hundreds of independent support groups under one umbrella to synchronise messaging and avoid the duplication of efforts, stablishing coordinators at the polling unit, ward, and local government levels to ensure that the President’s “Renewed Hope” Agenda is communicated effectively to the common man.
He said the coalition, which has entered a phase of intensive mobilisation, had recently opened a high-profile coordination office in Garki, Abuja.
” This marks a significant milestone in this journey, and the new office is designed to function as a data and situation room. It will serve as the primary point for distributing campaign materials, training volunteers, and gathering feedback from the various regions,” he said.
