Senator George Akume and Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule have launched a North-Central grassroots mobilisation effort to build support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. The initiative, led by political and APC stakeholders, holds its inaugural meeting in Abuja at Akume’s office, with the group’s national coordinator Sonny Echono presenting the plans.
Organisers say the movement aims to expand broad backing and drive voter turnout across the six North-Central states, with a stated goal of delivering the highest regional vote total for Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima. The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, describes the effort as a first-of-its-kind mobilisation and says the necessary structures will be put in place ahead of the polls.
Across the reports, the common points are the leadership of Akume and Sule, the involvement of other APC figures, and the focus on coordinated grassroots engagement in North-Central Nigeria. The outlets primarily differ in how they frame details, with some highlighting the movement’s coordination role while others emphasise the target of maximising votes from the region and regional political positioning.
