Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, former minister of women affairs, has pledged her full support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
In a statement issued on Friday by her spokesperson, Musa Abdulrahman, Ohanenye described Tinubu’s leadership as “visionary, courageous, and focused on national transformation”.
“My commitment to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not merely political; it is a deep-seated conviction born from observing his visionary leadership, his unwavering dedication to national progress, and his genuine commitment to improving the lives of every Nigerian,” she said.
She said the Tinubu administration had made remarkable progress despite inherited challenges, pointing to economic reforms, improvements in social welfare, and efforts in national security.
“From economic reforms designed to foster sustainable growth to critical interventions aimed at bolstering security and enhancing social welfare, President Tinubu has shown an undeniable resolve,” she said.
Ohanenye announced plans to relaunch her grassroots campaign platform, Naija Save Naija 2027, with the aim of mobilising 10 million Nigerians in support of Tinubu’s second-term bid.
She said the group, which was instrumental in voter mobilisation during the 2023 elections—particularly among people living with disabilities and vulnerable communities—would be reactivated to support the president.
“Our target of 10 million Nigerians is not just a number; it represents a resounding affirmation of confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership, and a clear mandate for him to continue steering Nigeria towards prosperity,” she said.
She disclosed that the renewed campaign would engage all segments of society, including women, youth, traders, farmers, professionals, and vulnerable groups across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
Ohanenye urged Nigerians to support Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which she described as a genuine roadmap for sustainable development.
“President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is not a slogan; it is a living document of progress. I have full confidence that he will continue to deliver on his promises,” she added.
