Akume and Wike Mobilize Support for Tinubu's 2027 Bid

Senator George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, and Nyesom Wike, the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, have initiated efforts to rally support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima in the 2027 presidential election. They mobilized stakeholders from the North Central geopolitical zone and Rivers State through campaign events in Abuja and Akpor Kingdom, Rivers State.

Akume, as Grand Patron of the North Central Grassroots Mobilisation Network, emphasized the need to extend the campaign beyond the Federal Capital Territory into local communities. Key activities planned include a North Central Grand Rally on October 10, 2026, in Lafia, Nasarawa State, a medical outreach program providing various eye care services, and a North Central Grassroots Advocacy Tour covering all senatorial districts in the region.

The initiative, endorsed by the APC National Secretariat, aims to engage communities directly and enhance political mobilization through humanitarian efforts.
