The Director-General of Tinubu Support Group (TSG), Dr Umar Yakassai, says the group is committed to collaborating with other pro-Tinubu campaign movements to ensure the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027 and continue with the Renewed Hope Agenga to take Nigeria to the promised land.
Yakassai made this known at the unveiling of the “Project 4+4 For Tinubu/Shettima 2027.
The Project has the theme, “Operation Water the Ground, Get Out the Vote and Full Endorsement of Tinubu and Shettima for Presidency.
It also aims at pushing the candidacy of Sen. Philip Tanimu Aduda, for 2027 FCT Senatorial District, FCT House of the Representatives Candidates – Hon. Danladi Chiya, Hon. John Gabaya and all the 2027 APC Female Candidates
The event was organized by the 2027 APC Female Aspirants and Candidates Network (FAFAN) and Traditional and Religious Women Leaders Network (TARWLN).
According to him, unity of purpose will be critical to achieving shared objectives.
He said the administration of Tinubu/Shettima had recorded improvements in foreign reserves, state allocations and GDP, while also clearing some foreign obligations.
“Our GDP was not growing fast and Nigeria was having a very low foreign reserve, and many of our states were unable to pay their salaries.
“Today, our foreign reserve has grown from 3.89 billion dollars to over 50 billion dollars, we have money going to the states and state allocation has grown almost three times, and states are now able to pay workers’ salaries,” he said.
He said the administration had also introduced interventions in education, including student loans, and strengthened local government administration.
“In the area of education, many parents that could not send their children to school now enjoy NELFUND. Students go to school with the numbers grown astronomically.”
He, therefore, urged Nigerians to support Tinubu for a second term to enable him consolidate the gains of his reforms and continue the implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Meanwhile, the National Convener of FAFAN, Princess Nikky Onyeri, said women are fully prepared and mobilised for the 2027 elections.
She said members of the two networks came from the 36 states, FCT and the diaspora, including the United States and United Kingdom, to endorse the Tinubu/Shettima ticket.
“We came here, FAFAN members, and the traditional and religious women leaders, came together to unveil Project 4 + 4 for Tinubu/Shettima 2027.
“What we are saying is that we give a full endorsement of the president, who is the 2027 APC presidential candidate,” she said.
