As the 2027 general elections draw closer, a group under the auspices of Shehi and Matawalle Project for Tinubu 2nd term Mandate 2027, North-west zone, has assured Nigerians that the coalition of the opposition parties can not stand the test of time.
The group described the alliance between the former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in 2023 election, Peter Obi, former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-rufai, and others as a waste of time and resources.
Matawale’s supporter stated this in Kaduna on Saturday, during the inauguration of the North-west zonal and states executive of the group.
According to the Publicity Secretary of the group, Auwal Mohammed, the aim of the group was to canvass support and votes for the return of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2027.
Highliting the reasons while Nigerians should support the Tinubu-led administration beyond 2027, Mohammed explained that the present administration under its “Renewed Hope agenda” has formulated
people-oriented policies which is now driving the economy of the country to the right path.
Earlier in his remarks, the Zonal Coordinator of the group, Hon. Babangida Haruna Damba, explained that Tinubu has stabilized the economy and uplifted the poor through reforms and targeted programs, which according to him, include; economic reforms: fuel subsidy removal, FX unification, road rehabilitation, rural electrification, among others.
“As newly inaugurated executives, your mission is to mobilize, educate, and sustain the movement for the return of Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2027”, Damba explained.
Fielding questions from newsmen, the Zonal Secretary of the group, Dr. Ahmad Hashim, explained that the Shehi and Matawalle Project is more than a campaign structure. It is a strategic movement designed to ensure the continuity and consolidation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership come 2027.
“The project draws strength from the loyal structures and enduring influence of two great sons of the Northwest; Bello Mohammed Matawalle and Senator Abdulazeez Yari”, Hashim said.
Speaking further, he described the duo of Matawalle and Yari as political pillars and seasoned statesmen who in their different capacities have contributed to the growth of the country.
