Former Minister of Women Affairs Uju Kennedy Ohanenye has declared her unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Ohanenye announced the relaunch of her nationwide grassroots campaign, “Naija Save Naija 2027,” aimed at mobilizing 10 million Nigerians to back the President.
The initiative revives the political network she previously led to secure support in the 2023 elections, particularly among persons with disabilities and vulnerable groups.
Speaking through her spokesperson, Musa Abdulrahaman, Ohanenye described her commitment to Tinubu as a “deep-seated conviction” inspired by his leadership style, reform-driven policies, and national development agenda.
“My commitment to President Tinubu is not merely political,” she said, “it is rooted in observing his visionary leadership and genuine efforts to uplift every Nigerian.”
She credited the Tinubu administration with making significant strides in economic reform, national security, and social welfare, despite inheriting numerous challenges from past governments.
“He has responded with courage, strategic foresight, and unwavering resolve to create a better Nigeria,” she added.
The Naija Save Naija 2027 campaign will focus on grassroots mobilization across all 36 states and the FCT, targeting women, youth, farmers, traders, professionals, and the vulnerable, in a bid to build broad-based support for Tinubu’s second-term ambition.
“Our target of 10 million Nigerians is not just a number; it represents a collective voice of support, a resounding affirmation of confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership, and a clear mandate for him to continue steering Nigeria towards prosperity,” she said.
The former minister called on “all well-meaning Nigerians” to support the continuity of the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which she described as “a living document of progress.”
Details of the campaign’s official relaunch and nationwide activities are expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks.
Ohanenye, known for her advocacy and grassroots influence, reaffirmed her resolve to work “tirelessly” to secure another term for Tinubu, positioning herself as a key ally in the President’s 2027 political calculus.
