Today, I joined His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR; Vice President Kashim Shettima; and other distinguished leaders, stakeholders, and members of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), to officially flag off the campaigns ahead of the 2027 elections.

Kaduna came alive, and the energy was electric. The crowd demonstrated their resolve to consolidate the gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda as we look towards the 2027 elections. I commend the people of Kaduna for their impressive turnout and clear demonstration of readiness to secure victory at the polls.

This is more than a show of support. It is a statement of shared purpose: to protect the progress we have made as a nation, sustain development through sound economic policies, and ultimately take our nation to greater heights.

The journey has begun, and we are going all the way!

Leadership finds its deepest meaning when it brings hope within the reach of ordinary people.

Today, at the commissioning of the New National Secretariat of the PBAT Door to Door Movement by our First Lady, Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, I reaffirmed our commitment to consolidating the Renewed Hope Agenda come 2027.

This commitment is driven by the bold reforms and purposeful leadership of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. From the student loan scheme through NELFUND, which expands access to higher education, to the establishment of regional development commissions, including the South-East Development Commission, these initiatives reflect a clear commitment to creating opportunities, promoting inclusive growth and addressing the needs of our people.

The door-to-door movement will serve as a vehicle for taking the message and impact of this administration to every part of our nation. I urged all members to carry the achievements and impactful initiatives across of this administration all 774 Local Government Areas and 8,809 wards, ensuring that the Renewed Hope Agenda reaches every community and that Nigerians can see and appreciate its impact.

I congratulate the Convener and Grand Patron of the Movement, High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, together with the national leadership, coordinators and members, on this significant milestone. It is only the beginning of greater achievements for the Movement as we journey to victory in the 2027 elections.

We will keep working together in service to the nation and for the wellbeing of our people.

Following the inaugural meeting of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, I held a crucial meeting with the Director-General of the Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, to deliberate on the task ahead and align on our campaign strategy.

The task is clear, and the work has begun. Together, we are ready to deliver.

I mourn the passing of a great Abian, a renowned scholar, industrialist and philanthropist, Prof. Gregory Ibe, who founded Gregory University, Uturu, Abia State.

Professor Ibe was an intellectual and visionary who believed in the power of education and demonstrated his commitment to the development of our dear state, Abia, by building an enduring legacy through his contributions to academia, innovation, entrepreneurship and public service.

His passing is indeed a monumental loss to Abia State and our nation at large.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to his immediate family, the management and staff of Gregory University, his political associates, and all who were impacted by his exemplary life.

May God grant everyone the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss, and may his soul rest in peace.

The importance of reliable network connectivity in our rural communities cannot be understated. Its impact is critical to economic development, access to education and advancement of healthcare in our communities.
I applaud His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR and the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy for the Nigerian Universal Communications Access Project (NUCAP). With 3,700 telecommunications towers in underserved communities across the nation, our journey to digital transformation has become a reality.

BRIDGING DIGITAL DIVIDE IN BENDE FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY.

Another important step towards digital transformation was taken today in Bende. It was my pleasure to receive the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, for the commissioning of the first telecommunications tower under the Nigerian Universal Communications Access Project (NUCAP), designed to extend reliable mobile and broadband connectivity to underserved communities.

Beyond the installation of these towers for enhancing reliable network connectivity, this initiative is critical to driving financial inclusion, expanding access to education, improving healthcare delivery and creating new opportunities, particularly for people in rural communities.

I extend my sincere appreciation to our President, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR for his commitment to expanding digital infrastructure across our nation, the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. 'Bosun Tijani , the implementing agencies; network providers; and all partners whose efforts are contributing to the success of this project.

The goal is simple: to connect our people, empower our communities and create more opportunities for every community.

As your Representative, I remain committed to ensuring that no community in Bende Federal Constituency is left behind in this digital transformation. We will continue working to connect our communities, improve access and deliver meaningful impact for the good of our people.

Today in Awka, Anambra State, I attended the solidarity rally hosted by the Tinubu Support Group in support of the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

As Deputy Director-General (South II) of the Presidential Campaign Council, I charged the people of Anambra State to sustain their support, remain actively engaged and intensify mobilisation efforts towards securing victory for our great party.

Our task is clear: to take the Renewed Hope message to every community, strengthen our grassroots structures and mobilise Nigerians around the vision of a stronger, more prosperous nation.

The work has begun, and this journey is one that will lead us to victory.

Together, we will consolidate the Renewed Hope Agenda, strengthen our political structures across the South-East and secure a resounding victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027. Onward to victory!

Today, the journey to consolidate the Renewed Hope Agenda began as leaders, stakeholders and members of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), gathered for the inauguration of the Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Over the past three years, our nation has embarked on a path of progress and economic transformation through the bold reforms of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, navigating difficult choices and initial challenges in pursuit of a stronger, more resilient and prosperous nation.

At the heart of the Renewed Hope Agenda are the people. Their aspirations, welfare and prosperity have remained central to every policy, decision and action of this administration.

The task ahead calls for collective responsibility, strategic engagement and a shared commitment to national development. As we continue to strengthen our party structures and deepen our engagement with citizens, we must remain focused on building a Nigeria where good governance creates opportunities, empowers citizens and delivers lasting progress.

Together, we will consolidate the gains, address the challenges and advance the Renewed Hope Agenda in the service of all Nigerians.
