Education Minister Alausa Targets 10 Million Votes for Tinubu

Dr. Olatunji Alausa, the Minister of Education, pledged to mobilize 10 million votes from Nigeria’s education sector for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. This commitment was made during the inaugural meeting of the APC Presidential Campaign Committee Education Sector Mobilisation Working Group.

Alausa urged members to extend their campaign efforts beyond educational institutions into communities nationwide. He stated that the education sector, comprising students, teachers, lecturers, and other stakeholders, is crucial for delivering significant electoral support.

Alausa asserted that continuity in governance is essential for the ongoing reforms initiated by Tinubu's administration, which he believes have positively transformed Nigeria. He called for coordinated efforts to achieve the voting target and established sub-groups within the Working Group to enhance engagement with various educational stakeholders.

The Working Group is chaired by Alausa, with Prof. Suwaiba Said Ahmad as Deputy Chairman and Dr. Muhammad Sani Idris as Secretary.
