This coalition, comprising influential political figures, has set an ambitious target of mobilizing 11 million votes, which they believe will be pivotal in securing Tinubu's victory in the upcoming election.
The forum articulated their commitment to spreading the message of support across all 36 states of Nigeria, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Their strategy involves extensive grassroots engagement aimed at galvanizing public support for Tinubu's presidency, highlighting the administration's achievements and future potential.
In a recent statement, the coalition emphasized the importance of unity and collective effort in realizing their goal, stating, "We believe that with a concerted effort and unwavering support, we can achieve the 11 million votes needed to reaffirm President Tinubu's mandate."

As the political climate intensifies, the coalition's endorsement may play a critical role in shaping voter sentiment and mobilizing support within the electorate. With the 2027 elections on the horizon, the actions of this coalition will likely be closely monitored by political analysts and stakeholders alike.
