Tinubu's Supporters Push Grassroots Mobilization for 2027

The Ndigbo for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu 2027 Forum (NDI-ABAT) has stated that grassroots mobilization is crucial for improving President Bola Tinubu's electoral prospects in the South-East ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The group praised Tinubu for his meeting with the City Boys Movement, viewing it as a positive step towards enhancing grassroots support.

NDI-ABAT, led by National Coordinator Okechukwu Isiguzoro and Chairman Uche Okwukwu, expressed confidence that Tinubu could overcome the All Progressives Congress' (APC) historical electoral challenges in the region. They highlighted the need for the APC to learn from past electoral disappointments in 2015, 2019, and 2023 by strengthening grassroots structures and addressing the political concerns of the Ndigbo.

The group called for intensified voter engagement and a coordinated campaign to convert political support into votes, asserting that the Southeast is not beyond the APC's reach. They believe that sustained engagement with local communities could significantly alter established voting patterns in the upcoming election.
