The Bayelsa branch of the Nigerian group supporting Bola Tinubu is urging political stakeholders to support his bid for a second term in 2027. The movement says the campaign goes beyond party divisions and calls for joint mobilisation behind the Nigerian president, according to its local chapter.

The Bayelsa branch of the Tinubu Support Group, a Nigerian collective supporting President Bola Tinubu, is calling on political stakeholders in the country to mobilise for his re-election in 2027. The call was made by its coordinator in Bayelsa State, Preye Aganaba, in a statement signed by Udengs Eradiri, the group’s director of communications.

Preye Aganaba believes that the project of Tinubu’s re-election has now moved beyond partisan divisions. He is asking the coalitions, alliances and political groups forming around the president to work together in the name of a “national mission”, according to the Tinubu Support Group statement.
