2027: Nigerians choosing continuity over confusion — Pro-Tinubu rally declares

By Luminous Jannamike

ABUJA — Thousands of supporters under the umbrella of the Tinubu Mega Group, TMG, on Tuesday rallied in Abuja in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election, declaring that Nigerians were “choosing continuity over confusion and progress over propaganda.”

The rally, described by organisers as a “National Unity Rally,” drew participants from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. The coalition claimed that more than 1,500 groups, including professionals, civil society organisations, youth associations, traders, artisans, women groups, religious leaders and grassroots mobilisers, had endorsed another four years for the President.

Among those who addressed the gathering were TMG National Spokesperson, Tijani Ali Danjuma; representative of Nigerian professionals, Dr Tabuko Kennedy; Christian cleric, Bishop Kola Oyedepo; and Islamic cleric, Sheik Abubakar Mustapha.

“To those spreading false narratives and attempting to create division, our answer is simple: the people have spoken. Nigerians are choosing continuity over confusion and progress over propaganda,” Danjuma declared.

The coalition also presented what it described as the endorsement of “20 million Nigerians” for President Tinubu’s second term, saying policies around infrastructure, local refining, governance, investment and economic recovery were beginning to produce results.

“The student loan programme has opened new opportunities for young Nigerians. Efforts are ongoing to strengthen the naira, improve food production and reposition the economy for long-term growth,” said Danjuma.

He said the turnout reflected support across regions, religions and social groups despite economic hardship and rising living costs.

Speaking on behalf of professionals across key sectors, Kennedy said ongoing policies required consistency and patience to succeed, warning that abandoning them midway could undermine 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 stated.

He said doctors, lawyers, engineers, academics, entrepreneurs, creatives, artisans and technocrats were backing the administration because they believed the policies would strengthen the economy, support local industries and create opportunities for young Nigerians.

“There is no vacancy in Aso Rock in 2027,” Kennedy added.

Also speaking, Bishop Oyedepo described Nigeria’s current phase as a period requiring patience, sacrifice, wisdom and collective responsibility.

“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,” the cleric said.

He urged Nigerians to continue praying for the country and its leaders, saying policies around infrastructure, student loans, economic restructuring and local refining were laying the groundwork for long-term stability.

Similarly, Mustapha called for peace, patience and national unity amid ongoing economic and governance changes, saying meaningful transformation required time and perseverance.

“We must not allow division, hatred or politics of bitterness to weaken our country. Instead, we must support unity, peaceful coexistence and responsible leadership,” he said.

Supporters displayed banners and placards bearing inscriptions such as ’20 Million Nigerians Support Tinubu,’ ‘Continuity for National Development,’ and ‘One Voice, One Vision, One Nigeria.’

The rally ended peacefully with prayers for national unity, economic recovery and democratic stability.
