Yari floats new group to garner support for Tinubu’s re-election
The group is known as The Renewed Hope Network (TRHN).
According to a statement by the national facilitators of the movement, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar and his deputy, Emmanuel Osita in Abuja on Saturday, the strategic movement was conceived by Senator Abdulaziz Yari, following extensive consultations with political stakeholders, grassroots leaders, youth organisations, women groups, and former elected officials across the federation who share a common vision of strengthening and sustaining the Renewed Hope Agenda currently championed by the administration of President Tinubu.
The statement noted that the TRHN is a broad-based national coalition comprising grassroots politicians, respected political actors, notable public figures, community mobilisers, women leaders, youth organisations, and a formidable structure of former councillors drawn from all the 774 Local Government Areas of Nigeria.
“Our collective resolve is anchored on the conviction that Nigeria is currently on a path of economic recovery, institutional reforms, and renewed national optimism under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. As patriotic Nigerians and stakeholders in the country’s democratic future, we believe it is necessary to consolidate these gains by building a strong grassroots movement that will mobilise support nationwide.”
TRHN is expected to galvanise massive grassroots support across the federation for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, while also promoting citizen engagement, political inclusion, and national unity.
The facilitators also announced that arrangements have reached an advanced stage for the official national launch of the movement, which is expected to attract thousands of supporters, political stakeholders, youth leaders, women groups, and representatives from across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
The group is therefore calling on Nigerians of goodwill—particularly young people, women, community leaders, and political stakeholders—to join the growing national movement aimed at consolidating the Renewed Hope vision for a more prosperous and stable Nigeria.
“Details of the official launch and nationwide mobilisation activities will be communicated to the public in due course.”
