DMI Backs Tinubu's Reforms, Forms Alliance for 2027 Elections

The Directorate of Mobilization and Integration (DMI) has officially declared its support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's economic reforms and announced a formal alliance with the Tinubu Must Stay Movement in anticipation of the 2027 general elections. This decision was influenced by prolonged leadership disputes and internal crises within the Labour Party, where DMI emphasized that its commitment to national development supersedes its association with any political platform.

Marvel Jime, DMI’s Director of Policy and Administration, stated that the organization has adopted a renewed political and civic engagement strategy under the “Nigeria First Agenda” aimed at promoting citizen participation and national development. Jime acknowledged the hardships faced by Nigerians but clarified that their support for the reforms does not equate to blind approval of all government decisions.

DMI aims to reposition itself as a citizen-led initiative focused on governance and public policy, moving away from political party affiliations.
