Arewa Christians Mobilise Northern Support For Tinubu, Plan Zonal Prayer Campaign

The national c oordinator of Arewa Christians for Tinubu 2027 (ACT-2027), Ambassador Ayuba Jacob Ngbako, has plans to intensify grassroots mobilisation across Northern Nigeria in support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, through youth engagement, political participation and faith-based initiatives.

Ngbako disclosed this in a statement issued to journalists yesterday in Abuja, saying the group was determined to mobilise support for the President ahead of the next general elections.
As part of the mobilisation strategy, he announced plans to organise zonal prayer breakfasts across Northern Nigeria, beginning in the North-West on November 14, followed by Bauchi and subsequently Jos or Lafia, before culminating

in a grand prayer breakfast in Abuja.

According to him, the initiative was designed to bring Christians together to pray for the President, national unity, peace in Northern Nigeria and the country’s overall development.

He called on Christian leaders, youth organisations, women’s groups and other supporters of the President to participate in the programme.

Ngbako said the group would also leverage various youth platforms to strengthen grassroots participation and promote Tinubu’s second-term ambition.

The platforms include the National Gbagyi Youth Integration Festival (National GbagyiFe) for Tinubu Renewed Hope 2027, covering Niger, Nasarawa, Kaduna, Kogi and the FCT; the FCT Abuja Youth Participation Action Community (FAYPAC 2027); and the Gbagyi Youth Association, FCT Abuja.

He explained that the initiatives were designed to promote youth integration, political participation, community engagement and awareness of government policies and programmes.

The ACT-2027 coordinator also commended the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, for his infrastructure development efforts in Abuja, particularly the commissioning of the Dunamis pedestrian bridge.

Ngbako, who is also a serving Federal Commissioner of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), described the project as an example of responsive leadership and effective collaboration between government and private institutions.

According to him, the application for the pedestrian bridge had remained unattended for seven years before Wike approved it following its presentation to him in February 2026.

He said President Tinubu made the right decision by appointing Wike as FCT minister, noting that the minister’s infrastructure projects had become a significant feature of the administration’s performance.

However, he urged Wike to complement his infrastructure agenda with increased youth empowerment opportunities and political appointments for qualified young people and political stakeholders across the territory.

Ngbako said greater youth inclusion and the appointment of competent political actors would strengthen community participation and contribute to the implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

In another development, Ngbako disclosed that he is chairing the Editorial Board of a forthcoming publication titled, “Meet President Tinubu and His 52 Managers of Economy.”

The publication is expected to document the economic policies, reforms and activities of 52 key officials and institutions involved in managing Nigeria’s economy.

Among those expected to feature in the publication are ministers and heads of major institutions, including the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), RMAFC and Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC).

Ngbako said the project would present empirical information on the administration’s economic policies and the contributions of officials responsible for implementing them.

He added that the publication would provide materials for public engagement, help counter misinformation and showcase the administration’s economic reform agenda.

The book launch is expected to take place in Abuja in December, with stakeholders, including Wike, invited to support and promote the project.

He reiterated ACT-2027’s commitment to grassroots mobilisation through youth engagement, prayer initiatives, political participation and public communication ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Meanwhile, speaking at the commissioning of the Dunamis pedestrian bridge, Wike commended Dunamis International Gospel Centre, particularly the Enenche family, for investing in public infrastructure through its corporate social responsibility initiative.

The minister disclosed that the application for the project was first submitted in 2018 but remained unattended until February 2026, when it was brought to his attention.

“The application was made in 2018. It was in February 2026 when I was reminded. In less than a month you received approval. It means there is a government,” Wike said.

He described the project as evidence that private organisations could complement government efforts in addressing infrastructure gaps and improving residents’ welfare.

Wike also approved a request for the bridge to be roofed and made additional commitments towards improving the facility.

He urged residents to make proper use of the pedestrian bridge, stressing that such infrastructure was essential to preventing avoidable road accidents and protecting lives.

Formally commissioning the facility, the minister said: “As it has been constructed by Dunamis as its social responsibility as approved by me, I hereby commission this in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”
