Supreme Court Validates Tinubu Win, Mandate Group Raises Unity Call

In a landmark ruling on Thursday, the Supreme Court of Nigeria upheld the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the fiercely contested February 25, 2023 presidential election.

The decision reaffirmed the will of the Nigerian people and brought an end to the legal challenges posed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and his Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Peter Obi.

In the wake of this significant victory, The Mandate Movement (TMM), a prominent political group under the auspices of the All Progressive Congress (APC), came forward to congratulate President Bola Tinubu, the APC, and the entire nation.

A Renewed Hope Agenda for Nigeria

The Mandate Movement expressed its unwavering support for President Tinubu’s leadership and the Renewed Hope Agenda.

In response to this significant legal triumph, Abdullahi Ayinde Enilolobo, Chairman of The Mandate Movement (TMM), conveyed its assurance that President Tinubu is poised to deliver on the promises of a brighter and more prosperous Nigeria.

In a statement issued through a chieftain of the party, Prince Adewale Arogundade, he said, “the Renewed Hope Agenda represents a comprehensive vision for the nation’s future, touching on critical areas such as economic development, infrastructure, healthcare, education, and security. Enilolobo underscored its commitment of the group to working tirelessly alongside the APC to translate this vision into a reality that benefits all Nigerians.”

A Call for Unity and Cooperation

TMM’s message was clear: now is the time for unity and cooperation. Enilolobo emphasized that the success of President Tinubu’s administration and the realization of the Renewed Hope Agenda depend on the collective efforts of all Nigerians, regardless of their political affiliations.

Enilolobo called on citizens to set aside political differences and work together in building a united and stronger Nigeria. With President Bola Tinubu at the helm, there is a renewed sense of purpose and a shared commitment to steering the nation toward a brighter and more prosperous future.

“As the country looks forward to the days ahead under President Tinubu’s leadership, The Mandate Movement remains dedicated to supporting this new era, filled with hope, vision, and promise,” he assured.

*I will perform like Sen.Adeola Yayi if I’m elected as Senator in Ogun West

Hon. Aina Akinpelu made it known to Ogun West People that he will perform like Senator Olamilekan Adeola Yayi, if the people of Ogun West give him opportunity to serve them as a senator representing Ogun West in 2027 election. Hence tagging his Campaign Slogan as Like *Yayi Like Legacy, Like Yayi Like Legacy*!

Aina said ” we need someone that can work for us like Senator Adeola, if we want his good work to continue in Ogun West”.

That is one of the reasons why I’m contesting for the senatorial seat for our incubent senators good work to continue.

“What I did then as a State Legislator when I served my People at Ado Odo/Ọta 1 Constituency is the example of what I will do if I give opportunity to represent Ogun West at the Federal Level

Honorable Aina says,
Just like Distinguished Senator Adeola Yayi, I facilitated numerous “legacy projects” across my Constituency. I also personally funded people-oriented projects aimed at improving the daily lives of my people.

These visible achievements, delivered during my time as Member Ogun State House of Assembly from 2011–2019, are still standing strong across Ota State Constituency 1 till today.

As a grassroots politician who understands how to attract development and influence decisions in favour of his people, I’m fully prepared to take that same quality representation to Ogun West Senatorial District.

As progressive APC members in Ogun West, the time has come to rally behind a candidate who can sustain the standard and performance Distinguished Senator Adeola Yayi has brought to our district. Which is me, says – *Hon. Aina Akinpelu.*

Zamfara APC Stakeholders Unanimously Endorse Tinubu, Lawal for Second Term

Stakeholders of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State have thrown their full weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Dauda Lawal for a second term in the 2027 general elections.

The endorsement came on Saturday, April 25, 2026, during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting convened at the Government House in Gusau. The gathering drew all four former governors of the state, elected officials, elders, and representatives of youth and women from all 14 local government areas.

Speaking at the event, Governor Lawal described the meeting as timely, noting that political activities ahead of the 2027 elections are about to intensify.

He explained that his decision to join the APC was not merely political but a strategic move to reposition Zamfara, strengthen collaboration with the federal government, and advance the Renewed Hope Agenda. He thanked stakeholders for their unwavering support throughout the transition process.

Lawal urged party leaders to manage public expectations with maturity and fairness, acknowledging that not all political aspirations can be met immediately. He stressed that leadership goes beyond positions and that political relevance comes from service and contribution to development.

He further assured that fairness, equity, and justice would guide his administration’s decisions, and called for discipline and loyalty to the party.

In a communiqué read by the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Mohammed Bello Matawalle, himself a former governor, the stakeholders declared their full support for President Tinubu and Governor Lawal. The communiqué also covered discussions on party unity, governance coordination, security challenges, and preparations for the 2027 elections.

All four former governors of Zamfara Ahmed Sani Yarima, Mahmuda Aliyu Shinkafi, Abdul’aziz Yari, and Bello Mohammed Matawalle were present and made clear commitments to the APC and the re-election bid of the president and the governor.
