Chief executive officers of Nigeria’s federal parastatals and agencies have publicly committed to delivering 10 million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign. The forum, comprising over 400 CEOs and senior leaders, announced their collective pledge during a recent gathering.
The group argued their frontline positions make them uniquely qualified to evaluate government performance. They claimed their direct involvement in implementing federal policies across all 36 states gives them insight most observers lack. According to the forum, this field experience has convinced them that Tinubu deserves a second term.
What drives this level of public commitment from appointed officials? The CEOs praised what they called the president’s bold reforms and difficult decisions in the national interest. They also expressed gratitude for their appointments, describing them as opportunities to advance the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The forum’s strategy centers on leveraging their extensive networks across states, local governments and communities nationwide. Members plan to coordinate with the Presidential Campaign Council while focusing their mobilization efforts at the ward level, where citizens directly experience policy impacts.
Whether this top-down endorsement translates to actual grassroots support remains to be seen as Nigeria approaches another electoral cycle.
