Thousands of supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday converged on Abuja under the umbrella of the Tinubu Mega Group (TMG), declaring that there is “no vacancy in Aso Rock” ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The rally, described as a “National Unity Rally,” drew participants from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, with the coalition claiming to have mobilised more than 1,500 organisations in support of President Tinubu’s second-term bid.

The groups included professionals, civil society organisations, youth associations, women groups, traders, artisans, grassroots mobilisers, and religious leaders.

At the event, the coalition formally endorsed Tinubu for another four years in office, insisting that the administration’s ongoing economic and structural reforms require continuity beyond 2027.

National Spokesperson of the Tinubu Mega Group, Tijani Ali Danjuma, said the rally reflected the collective resolve of Nigerians who believe in continuity, stability, and national progress.

According to him, despite prevailing economic challenges, the Tinubu administration has shown courage in confronting long-standing national problems through reforms and infrastructure development.

He highlighted ongoing road and infrastructure projects, renewed investments in local refining, economic stabilisation efforts, social intervention programmes, and measures aimed at improving local governance and attracting investment.

“The student loan programme has opened new opportunities for young Nigerians. Efforts are ongoing to strengthen the naira, improve food production, and reposition the economy for long-term growth,” he said.

Danjuma added that the turnout at the rally demonstrated that support for the President transcends ethnic, religious, and regional divides.

“To those spreading false narratives and attempting to create division, our answer is simple, the people have spoken. Nigerians are choosing continuity over confusion and progress over propaganda,” he declared.

Speaking on behalf of Nigerian professionals, Dr. Tabuko Kennedy said stakeholders across critical sectors of the economy were backing the administration because reforms require consistency to succeed.

Representing doctors, lawyers, engineers, academics, entrepreneurs, creatives, artisans, and technocrats, Kennedy warned that abandoning ongoing reforms midway could undermine national development.

“As professionals, we understand that difficult reforms are never easy at the beginning, but we also know that abandoning reforms halfway can damage national progress,” he stated.

He maintained that the administration had demonstrated commitment to rebuilding the economy, strengthening infrastructure, improving revenue generation, supporting local industries, and creating opportunities for youths.

Kennedy declared that “there is no vacancy in Aso Rock in 2027,” a statement that drew loud cheers from supporters.

Also addressing the gathering, Bishop Kola Oyedepo urged Nigerians to remain patient and supportive of ongoing reforms, describing the current phase of national development as one requiring sacrifice, wisdom, and collective responsibility.

According to the cleric, reforms initiated under the Tinubu administration, including economic restructuring, educational support through student loans, infrastructure expansion, and efforts to improve local refining capacity, are necessary foundations for long-term national growth.

“Every wise builder must first lay a solid foundation. Nigeria today is in the process of rebuilding and restructuring its foundation for a stronger future,” he said.

He urged Nigerians to continue praying for the country and its leaders, while reiterating support for continuity in governance.

Islamic cleric, Sheik Abubakar Mustapha called for peace, patience, and unity, stressing that meaningful reforms require time and perseverance.

He commended the administration’s focus on infrastructure, education support initiatives, governance reforms, and local refining projects aimed at boosting national productivity.
