According to a statement cited by Legit.ng on Saturday, March 7, the organisation was established after consultations with political stakeholders, community leaders and grassroots groups across the country.
The facilitators said the movement was created to strengthen the political support base for the administration and sustain the policies associated with Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Coalition targets grassroots mobilisation
The statement explained that the network brings together a wide range of political actors and community mobilisers from across Nigeria.
Members of the coalition include grassroots politicians, youth organisations, women’s groups, former public office holders and a large network of former councillors drawn from the 774 local government areas of the country.
The facilitators said the platform aims to unite progressive voices while strengthening grassroots political structures nationwide.
“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,” the statement read.
It added:
“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.”
Group declares support for Tinubu’s second term
According to the facilitators, one of the central goals of the newly formed network is to mobilise broad public backing for Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
They said the organisation would also focus on encouraging citizen participation in politics while promoting national unity and inclusion.
