The North Central Agenda (NCA), a prominent political advocacy group, has officially endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in office, declaring that the administration deserves another mandate to consolidate ongoing economic reforms, infrastructure development, security improvements, and governance initiatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
The endorsement comes as political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to gather momentum, with political groups, stakeholders, and regional organisations increasingly declaring their positions on the future direction of the country.
According to the leadership of the North Central Agenda, President Tinubu’s administration has demonstrated the political will to implement difficult but necessary reforms aimed at repositioning Nigeria’s economy while laying stronger foundations for long-term national development.
Furthermore, the group argued that continuity in leadership remains essential to ensuring that ongoing policies mature into measurable outcomes capable of benefiting millions of Nigerians.
A Vote of Confidence in the Administration
The North Central Agenda explained that its endorsement followed careful evaluation of the administration’s policies and achievements since assuming office.
Furthermore, the group stated that the government has initiated reforms across critical sectors, including infrastructure, agriculture, energy, education, technology, transportation, and economic management.
While acknowledging that some reforms have required significant sacrifices from citizens, the organisation maintained that many of the policies were necessary to stabilise the economy and prepare the country for sustainable growth.
The group therefore expressed confidence that additional time would allow the administration to fully realise the objectives of its reform agenda.
Consistency strengthens long-term development.
Support for Economic Reforms
One of the major reasons cited for the endorsement was the administration’s commitment to economic restructuring.
Furthermore, the North Central Agenda noted that recent reforms have focused on improving fiscal discipline, strengthening public revenue, encouraging investment, modernising public institutions, and creating a more competitive business environment.
According to the organisation, meaningful economic transformation often requires patience because structural reforms rarely produce immediate results.
Economic reforms require continuity.
The group expressed optimism that sustained implementation would eventually deliver stronger economic growth, increased employment opportunities, and greater investor confidence.
Infrastructure Development Receives Recognition
The organisation also praised ongoing investments in infrastructure.
Furthermore, it observed that road construction, energy projects, transportation improvements, rural electrification, digital infrastructure expansion, and housing programmes remain critical components of national development.
The North Central Agenda argued that infrastructure creates the foundation upon which businesses grow, industries expand, and communities prosper.
Infrastructure connects opportunity.
The group encouraged the Federal Government to sustain investments capable of improving productivity across every region of the country.
Commitment to National Unity
The advocacy group stressed that national unity should remain a central priority throughout the administration’s second term if re-elected.
Furthermore, it urged political leaders to continue promoting inclusion, dialogue, peaceful coexistence, and equal opportunities for citizens regardless of ethnicity, religion, or geographical location.
According to the organisation, Nigeria’s diversity remains one of its greatest strengths when properly managed through fair governance and responsible leadership.
Unity strengthens democracy.
The group called on all political stakeholders to prioritise peaceful engagement as preparations for future elections continue.
Focus on Security
The North Central Agenda acknowledged that security remains one of Nigeria’s most pressing national concerns.
Furthermore, it encouraged the Federal Government to continue strengthening security institutions through improved intelligence gathering, modern technology, stronger community engagement, and enhanced collaboration among security agencies.
Peace creates development.
The organisation maintained that sustained investment in security remains necessary for attracting investment, promoting agricultural activities, supporting education, and improving citizens’ quality of life.
It therefore urged the administration to intensify efforts aimed at protecting lives and property across the country.
Youth Development and Job Creation
The group also emphasised the importance of creating greater opportunities for young Nigerians.
Furthermore, it encouraged continued investment in education, vocational training, entrepreneurship, digital innovation, agriculture, manufacturing, and small business development.
Young people represent Nigeria’s greatest asset.
According to the organisation, expanding employment opportunities will reduce poverty while strengthening national productivity and economic competitiveness.
The group urged the government to continue implementing programmes capable of empowering young people with practical skills required in today’s evolving economy.
Strengthening Regional Development
The North Central Agenda explained that balanced regional development remains essential for national stability.
Furthermore, the organisation encouraged continued investment across all geopolitical zones to ensure equitable access to infrastructure, education, healthcare, agriculture, and economic opportunities.
Inclusive development promotes national progress.
The group expressed optimism that stronger collaboration between federal and state governments would accelerate development throughout the country.
Preparing for the Future
While endorsing President Tinubu for another term, the organisation urged the administration to continue listening to citizens’ concerns and refining policies where necessary.
Furthermore, it encouraged greater stakeholder engagement involving the private sector, civil society organisations, professional associations, youth groups, traditional rulers, and community leaders.
Constructive dialogue improves governance.
The group stressed that responsive leadership remains essential for strengthening public confidence and ensuring that government policies address the evolving needs of Nigerians.
A Call for Continuity
The North Central Agenda concluded that its endorsement reflects confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ability to continue implementing reforms capable of strengthening Nigeria’s economy, improving infrastructure, expanding investment, promoting national unity, and enhancing overall governance.
Furthermore, the organisation maintained that continuity in leadership offers the best opportunity for ongoing reforms to mature into lasting national achievements rather than being interrupted before delivering their full benefits.
As political activities gradually intensify ahead of the 2027 elections, the group called on Nigerians to remain committed to peaceful democratic participation while carefully evaluating leadership based on performance, vision, competence, and commitment to national development. It expressed confidence that sustained reforms, responsible governance, and inclusive leadership will position Nigeria for stronger economic growth, improved public services, greater national stability, and long-term prosperity.
