Govt agencies’ heads form coalition for Tinubu’s re-election

As the 2027 general elections approach, a group of federal agency leaders have come together to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his re-election bid. The Forum of Chief Executives of Federal Parastatals, which oversees these agencies, aims to bring technical, strategic, and institutional resources to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).

During an event in Abuja, the forum's leaders discussed their plans for working closely with the party and its members to boost the campaign's effectiveness. They unveiled a new campaign structure focused on reaching out to voters at the grassroots level, creating messaging, organizing the election, and managing the campaign. Dr. Kazeem Kolawole Raji, the forum's chairman and director of the National Board for Technology Incubation, emphasized that the forum is more than just a collection of agency heads.

He described it as a place for collaboration, sharing knowledge, coordination, and exchanging ideas that can help drive national progress. When the delegation met with the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe, he welcomed the initiative, recognizing its potential impact on political communication and connecting with voters in the field. Yilwatda encouraged more federal agency heads to join the forum to strengthen the party's efforts.
