Ahead of the 2027 elections, a group of young Nigerians across party lines under the aegis of Renewed Hope Agenda Continuity Marshals (REHACMA) has called for sustained support for President Bola Tinubu, because of the ongoing economic and structural reforms of his administration which they insisted must be consolidated through leadership continuity.
National coordinator of the youth movement, Osawemwenhio Uwagboe, said to fully realize the gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda, Nigeria requires stability and consistent and sustained policy direction.
Uwagboe added that already leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at all levels have endorsed President Tinubu for re-election in 2027 due to his pragmatic approach to governance.
However, the group reacted to the fact that while the President continues to enjoy the support of many Nigerians, some others have argued that he should not be re-elected, claiming that his government has met their expectations. He expressed strong confidence that Nigeria will continue to progress and prosper under the Tinubu administration.
“Today we stand here not just as members of one political party, but as young Nigerians from different political backgrounds who believe in one thing: Nigeria must move forward.
“Across the country, young people are watching closely. We are observing leadership. We are observing courage. We are observing responsibility. And many of us have come to one clear conclusion: Nigeria needs stability in leadership and continuity of progressive reforms. That is why REHACMA was formed.
“REHACMA is not just a campaign organization. It is a movement of responsible young Nigerians who believe that governance should be supported when it is moving the nation forward. For us in REHACMA, when it comes to the future of Nigeria, politics should not blind us to leadership that is working.
“We believe that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu represents the experience, courage, and political capacity required to guide Nigeria through difficult reforms and long-term transformation.
“We believe that progress is the only option, and we are committed to working towards it. One unique thing about this movement is that our members come from different political backgrounds, but we are united by one common belief: Nigeria will progress and prosper under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
In his remarks, National Youth Leader of REHACMA, Yusuf Ishaya stated that Nigeria is making steady progress under President Tinubu’s leadership and called on youths across the country to unite in support of the President.
He stated, “I have been a member of ADC, and I have decided to align myself with the APC because I have seen progress. He who sees progress should not sit by the side and wait to be told that it is progress.
“You know progress when you see it. So my advice to others is that they should come and align themselves, support President Tinubu, because it is the best thing for Nigeria to move the country forward.”
On her part, REHACMA Women Leader, Fatima Lamisula, emphasized the need for the President to have more time to perfect his reforms, adding that four years is insufficient to steer the nation out of its longstanding challenges.
Similarly, the North Central Coordinator of REHACMA, Jerry Gwom stated that President Tinubu’s reforms are beginning to produce tangible and noticeable results.
He enumerated the progress the administration has made, including the floating of the dollar, the removal of the fuel subsidy and the crash of food prices amongst others.
