2027: Thousands Gather in Abuja as TMG Endorses Tinubu for Second Term

Thousands of supporters on Tuesday flooded the streets of Abuja as the Tinubu Mega Group (TMG) organised a massive National Unity Rally to endorse President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a possible second term ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The rally, described by organisers as one of the largest pro-government political mobilisations in recent months, attracted participants from across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. Organisers claimed that over 1,500 support groups, associations and grassroots organisations participated in the event.

Supporters carrying banners, posters and placards occupied major areas of the nation’s capital, chanting solidarity songs and expressing support for the continuation of the Tinubu administration beyond 2027.

The event featured representatives of civil society organisations, youth groups, women associations, artisans, traders, religious bodies, professionals and grassroots mobilisers who gathered to publicly back the president’s leadership and ongoing reforms.

At the rally, the coalition formally presented what it described as the endorsement of “20 million Nigerians” in support of another four-year term for Tinubu, insisting that ongoing reforms and development programmes needed continuity to achieve lasting impact.

Speaking during the gathering, TMG National Spokesperson, Tijani Ali Danjuma, said the rally reflected growing national support for the administration despite prevailing economic challenges and global economic pressures.

According to him, the Tinubu administration had demonstrated commitment to tackling long-standing national problems through economic reforms, infrastructure development and governance restructuring.

Danjuma highlighted several projects and initiatives of the administration, including road and rail infrastructure projects, investments in local refining, economic stabilisation policies, social intervention programmes and measures aimed at improving internally generated revenue and attracting foreign investment.

He also referenced the student loan scheme, describing it as one of the administration’s efforts to expand educational opportunities for young Nigerians. He added that government policies were targeted at strengthening the naira, improving food production and repositioning the economy for long-term growth.

“The people have spoken. Nigerians are choosing continuity over confusion and progress over propaganda,” Danjuma told supporters at the rally.

Speaking on behalf of professionals from various sectors, Dr. Tabuko Kennedy said doctors, lawyers, engineers, academics, entrepreneurs, creatives, artisans and technocrats were supporting the administration because reforms required consistency and time to produce results.

He warned that abandoning ongoing reforms midway could negatively affect economic recovery efforts and national development.

“As professionals, we understand that difficult reforms are never easy at the beginning, but we also know that abandoning reforms halfway can damage national progress,” Kennedy said.

The professional groups also declared support for Tinubu’s continuation in office beyond 2027, with Kennedy stating that “there is no vacancy in Aso Rock in 2027,” a remark that drew cheers from the crowd.

Religious leaders who attended the rally also urged Nigerians to remain patient with the administration’s policies and support ongoing national development efforts.

Representing the Christian community, Bishop Kola Oyedepo described the current phase of governance as a rebuilding period that required sacrifice, patience and collective responsibility.

He argued that reforms such as economic restructuring, infrastructure expansion, local refining initiatives and educational support programmes were laying the foundation for future growth and national stability.

“Every wise builder must first lay a solid foundation. Nigeria today is in the process of rebuilding and restructuring its foundation for a stronger future,” he stated.

Similarly, Islamic cleric Sheik Abubakar Mustapha called for national unity, peaceful coexistence and patience, stressing that meaningful reforms required time and stable leadership to succeed.

He commended the administration’s focus on infrastructure projects, governance reforms, educational support initiatives and local refining investments while cautioning against divisive politics capable of undermining national unity.

Supporters at the rally displayed banners bearing inscriptions such as “20 Million Nigerians Support Tinubu,” “Continuity for National Development,” and “One Voice, One Vision, One Nigeria.”

The rally comes amid growing political alignments and early mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections, although the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has yet to officially open campaigns for the next election cycle.

President Tinubu, who assumed office in 2023 under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, has repeatedly defended his administration’s economic reforms — including the removal of fuel subsidy and foreign exchange policy adjustments — as necessary steps toward economic recovery and long-term national growth.

However, opposition parties and critics have continued to express concerns over rising inflation, food prices, cost of living pressures and the economic impact of some government policies on ordinary Nigerians.

Despite the criticisms, pro-Tinubu groups across the country have continued to organise solidarity rallies and endorsement campaigns in support of the president’s leadership and possible re-election ambition.
