A political support group, Relax Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria, has set an ambitious target of delivering over 10 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.\n<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s National Director of Strategic Deployment and Implementation, Hon Shedrach Egede, disclosed the target while addressing journalists on Wednesday in Calabar, Cross River State.\n<\/p>\n

Egede, who mobilised supporters to the APC rally held at the U.J. Esuene Stadium, said the group was committed to the re-election of Tinubu and Governor Bassey Otu, as well as victory for all APC candidates in 2027.\n<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWe have a target of delivering over 10 million votes for President Bola Tinubu, support Governor Bassey Otu and all APC Candidates in the 2027 presidential election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe massive turnout during the APC rally in the state was a demonstration of the grassroots strength and our readiness to strengthen the APC\u2019s base in Cross River State.\u201d<\/p>\n

Egede said his mobilisation drive was in line with the strategic mandate entrusted to him by the Chief Founder of RTFN, Barr Seyi Tinubu, and the Director-General, Hon Bala Ahmed.\n<\/p>\n

According to him, RTFN coordinators across the 18 local government areas of the state will intensify mobilisation and political engagement across all 196 political wards to achieve the target.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe planned mobilisation drive is designed to expand our support base, strengthen community-level political structures and take the message of the Renewed Hope Agenda directly to the people,\u201d Egede said. <\/p>\n

He stressed that the group\u2019s mission goes beyond participation in rallies, noting that it is about building a formidable grassroots network and consolidating support across communities.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is about ensuring that the growing enthusiasm for President Tinubu, Governor Otu and the APC translates into tangible electoral gains,\u201d he added.\n<\/p>\n

Egede reiterated his determination to contribute meaningfully to the collective efforts towards victory for Tinubu, Otu and all APC candidates in 2027.\n<\/p>\n

The pledge comes amid growing mobilisation by APC support groups in Cross River State ahead of the 2027 general elections.\n<\/p>\n

In February 2026, APC leaders in the state, led by Governor Bassey Otu, pledged to mobilise 1.5 million votes for Tinubu in the next presidential election.\n<\/p>\n

The commitment was made at a stakeholders\u2019 meeting in Calabar attended by party leaders, lawmakers and other political stakeholders.<\/p>\n

However, the APC did not win the 2023 presidential election in Cross River, as Labour Party candidate Peter Obi polled 179,917 votes against Tinubu\u2019s 130,520.\n<\/p>\n

Otu, on the other hand, won the state governorship election for the APC, securing 258,619 votes.\n<\/p>\n
