The Tinubu Again Movement, a political mobilisation group championed by the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, says it has registered more than 1.23 million supporters nationwide and is targeting 20 million votes for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
The movement said the North-West remained its strongest mobilisation base, with more than 300,000 members recruited across the region.
Its Director of Media and Communications, Yusuf Dingyadi, disclosed this in a statement made available to our correspondent in Sokoto on Thursday, saying the group had stepped up grassroots campaigns to promote the achievements and policies of the Tinubu administration.
Dingyadi, who is also the Senior Special Assistant on Media to the APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, said the campaign was gaining momentum, particularly in rural communities, where volunteers were engaging residents on government projects and policies.
He said the movement was banking on the administration’s record in infrastructure and other sectors to convince Nigerians to support Tinubu for a second term.
“President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has something to show, something that can be marketed without any fear of contradiction.
“In terms of infrastructural development, there are several projects, and we are going around to enlighten and inform people about what the President has done and what he is doing,” he said.
According to Dingyadi, the movement has recorded considerable support in Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Katsina, Kano, Jigawa and Kaduna states.
He added that more than 5,600 volunteers drawn from various APC support groups, associations and organisations had been mobilised across the North-West to expand the campaign’s reach.
“Our target is to get 20 million voters and supporters across the country for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
“We are doing our best, and we are confident that we will achieve this target without mischief or propaganda,” he said.
On the security situation in the North-West, Dingyadi expressed optimism that the Tinubu administration would sustain efforts to tackle insecurity through improved military operations.
He said the President would continue to support Operation Fansan Yamma and provide additional manpower and resources to strengthen troops fighting insecurity in the region.
Dingyadi said the movement would continue its nationwide mobilisation and public enlightenment campaigns to consolidate support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
