Renewed Hope Group Promises Tinubu 3m Votes,

The Renewed Hope Grassroots Initiative (RHGI), an advocacy group that cuts across political parties, has vowed to use its nationwide structure to mobilise three million Nigerian voters for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

At a press conference in Abuja on Sunday, the director-general of RHGI, Dr Jaafaru Sa’ad, said Tinubu deserves a second term to consolidate the achievements recorded under his administration.

Sa’ad also noted that supporting the Nigerian leader to complete his constitutionally guaranteed second term would ensure equitable rotation of the presidency between the southern and northern regions.

He called on Nigerians to be wary of desperate politicians who are promising a single term in office.

“A single term of four years does not grant enough time to effect any substantive change and is capable of truncating the peaceful rotational presidency we have enjoyed so far as a nation.

“If they could not fix a state they governed for eight years and did not turn it into an Eldorado, it exposes the fraudulent underbelly of men who are desperately gallivanting across Nigeria, seeking to hide under fake promises to usurp power,” he said.

He further stated that Nigeria’s democracy has survived this long because of the rotation of the presidency, adding that former President Muhammadu Buhari from the North completed his eight-year tenure in 2023 and handed over to President Bola Tinubu from the South.

Sa’ad insisted that, in the spirit of equity, fairness, good conscience, and national unity, it is only just for President Tinubu—who is steadily addressing inherited challenges—to be allowed to complete his eight-year tenure and stabilise the nation for further development.

“It would amount to injustice and could trigger unrest if the South, represented by President Tinubu, is denied the opportunity to complete its tenure on account of challenges he inherited and is diligently tackling.

“We are simply arguing that those campaigning or aspiring to be president should not dwell on inherited insecurity challenges to blame him. This is not to say that President Tinubu is afraid of a contest—far from it,” he added.
