\"2027:<\/p>\n

Bishop John Praise Daniel, has urged Christians across northern Nigeria to unite across denominational, ethnic and political differences to support 2027 re-election bid of President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

Daniel, who is the General Overseer of Dominion Chapel International made the call at the commissioning of the national secretariat of Arewa Christians for Tinubu (ACT)2027 in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He said unity was essential to achieving the organisation\u2019s political objectives, urging Northern Christians to prioritise their interests and vision over religious denominational differences and tribal affiliations.<\/p>\n

He said a collective agreement and cooperation would strengthen the group\u2019s capacity to achieve its objectives.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we are united, there is no impossibility that will stand against us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The bishop expressed confidence in the movement\u2019s ability to mobilise support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel urged ACT-2027 members to take their mobilisation efforts to communities across the region, including villages, local government areas and wards, to sensitise Christians about the group\u2019s political agenda.<\/p>\n

He advised against allowing tribal affiliations and political differences to undermine the movement, insisting that members should work together irrespective of their diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot be divided on politics and tribes. When we see something that is good, we hold to it and stand together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The cleric also expressed confidence in the organisation\u2019s vision, saying unity would be critical to translating its objectives into tangible political gains.<\/p>\n

Explaining his support for Tinubu\u2019s re-election, Daniel recalled meeting the president in 2022, when controversy surrounded the All Progressives Congress (APC) Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.<\/p>\n

He said he had supported giving Tinubu an opportunity to lead, partly because he believed the president had the capacity to address insecurity and improve the balance of political appointments.<\/p>\n

According to Daniel, the administration\u2019s appointments of Christians to key government positions had reinforced his decision to support the president.<\/p>\n

He cited the appointments of Sen. George Akume as Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Gen. Christopher Musa, as Minister of Defense, as examples of Christian representation in the administration.<\/p>\n

The man of God \u00a0urged Northern Christians to assess their collective interests and remain united in pursuing their political objectives, regardless of party differences.<\/p>\n

He said supporting Tinubu\u2019s re-election was key to the group\u2019s immediate political strategy, expressing hope that a second term would create opportunities for further political engagement and negotiations on issues affecting Northern Christians.<\/p>\n

He said the inauguration of the secretariat was part of efforts by ACT-2027 to strengthen its organisational structures and coordinate mobilisation ahead of 2027 general election.<\/p>\n

He said the group had announced a target of five million votes for Tinubu in the forthcoming presidential election.<\/p>\n

The Convener and National Coordinator of the group , Amb. Ayuba Ngbako, had said the organisation would mobilise supporters across the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory through state, local government and ward structures.<\/p>\n

\u201cACT-2027 has also announced plans to unveil a book in December, titled \u201cMeet President Tinubu and His 52 Managers of the Economy\u201d, as part of its advocacy activities.<\/p>\n
