On October 8, 2026, the Tinubu Again Movement organized an event in Asaba, Delta State, to rally Nollywood actors, musicians, and other entertainers in support of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid for the 2027 presidential election. Founded by Bello Matawalle, the Minister of State for Defence and former Zamfara State Governor, the event was titled “Creative Voices for Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.” It aimed to mobilize the creative sector nationwide.

The Director-General of the movement emphasized the Tinubu administration's recognition of the creative industry as vital to Nigeria's economy, citing the establishment of the Ministry of Art, Culture and the Creative Economy. Key appointments in the sector were mentioned, including Obi Asika as Director-General of the National Council for Arts and Culture and Ali Nuhu as Managing Director of the Nigerian Film Corporation.

The Director-General urged the entertainment industry to support the movement’s #20MVForTinubu target, while veteran comedian Baba K pledged Nollywood's support, stating, “We go do for you, if you do for us.”.
