Thousands of residents, youth groups, community leaders and political supporters on Thursday participated in the “Relax Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria” (RTIFN) Unity and Peace Rally across Lugbe and Kuje Area Councils of the Federal Capital Territory, in what organisers described as a voter awareness campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The rally, which featured a roadshow through major parts of the two area councils, was organised to encourage voter participation while highlighting the achievements of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Organisers said the event attracted thousands of participants, including community leaders, youth advocates and government officials.
Among those in attendance was the Chief of Staff to the Minister of Youth Development, Hon. Muhammed Abdullah, alongside national executives of the RTIFN movement and other political stakeholders.
A major highlight of the event was the distribution of empowerment packages to women and youth entrepreneurs. According to the organisers, startup kits and financial grants were presented to selected beneficiaries in Lugbe and Kuje to support small businesses and promote economic self-reliance.
Some beneficiaries and market women reportedly expressed appreciation for the intervention and pledged their support for the Tinubu administration, citing ongoing infrastructure projects and government initiatives in their communities.
Addressing participants at the rally, the Director-General of the Relax Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria movement, Hon. Ahmed Bala, thanked residents for what he described as their peaceful conduct and continued support for the government.
Bala said the economic and structural reforms introduced by President Tinubu were aimed at laying a sustainable foundation for Nigeria’s long-term development, urging Nigerians to remain patient as the policies continue to take effect.
“Leadership requires courage, and President Tinubu has shown that courage. We are here to appeal for your continued patience. The policies of this administration are not quick fixes; they are sustainable foundations, and they have already started yielding visible fruits across the nation. Trust the process, protect your vote, and let us stay united as we approach 2027,” he said.
The event also featured cultural displays and musical performances by entertainers, including Basketmouth, Zule Zoo, Ekwe, Joel and Samegeezy, as well as performances by emerging local artists.
The organisers said the entertainment segment was designed to promote peaceful coexistence while complementing the civic education campaign.
The 2027 general elections are expected to be Nigeria’s next nationwide electoral exercise, with political parties and support groups gradually intensifying grassroots mobilisation and voter engagement activities across the country.
