Abuja, FCT - A northern grassroots group backing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has surged ahead of rival campaign networks in an online popularity poll, a move that stresses the growing role of digital mobilisation and informal political blocs ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The group, One North Movement, in a statement on Thursday, April 30, said it ranked first in a nationwide survey assessing pro-government campaign platforms, ahead of the City Boy Movement, a network widely linked to Seyi Tinubu.

Online poll highlights shifting campaign playbook
Citing the organisers of the exercise, the group said the poll, conducted over several days across digital platforms, drew thousands of participants from different regions who were asked to rate groups promoting the administration’s policies and re-election prospects.
While the methodology and credibility of such online surveys remain contested, analysts say the outcome reflects a broader shift in Nigeria’s political landscape, where loosely organised, digitally savvy groups are becoming key vehicles for voter outreach, the statement said.
2027 elections: Northern mobilisation in focus
Citing observers, the statement noted that the result is particularly significant in northern Nigeria, where voter mobilisation has historically played a decisive role in national elections.
Muhammad Ali, known as Abba G, who leads the group, described the ranking as an endorsement of its efforts.
“Our goal is to ensure that the benefits of the president’s leadership are felt across every part of Nigeria,” he said. “We will continue expanding our reach and supporting communities.”
Deputy leader Alhaji Sani Ahmad Zangina said the recognition would spur the group to intensify its activities ahead of future political contests.
The emergence of campaign networks like One North Movement is tied to evolving power structures within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), where informal alliances and advocacy groups increasingly shape public opinion outside official party channels.
