Heads of several Federal Government agencies have reportedly begun mobilising support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election ahead of the 2027 general election.
Eko Hot Blog reports that the mobilisation is said to be driven by calls for continuity in government policies and reforms introduced by the Tinubu administration since it assumed office.

Supporters of the President’s potential second-term bid argue that many of the administration’s economic and institutional reforms require sustained implementation to achieve their intended results.
The development comes as political activities gradually begin to intensify ahead of the 2027 elections, with various groups and political actors positioning themselves across the country.
Agency heads involved in the mobilisation are reportedly reaching out to stakeholders and supporters, highlighting the achievements and policy direction of the current administration.
They maintain that continuity in leadership would help consolidate ongoing reforms and prevent disruptions to programmes initiated by the Federal Government.
President Tinubu, who was elected in 2023, will be eligible to seek a second term in office in 2027 under Nigeria’s constitutional provisions.
However, the growing mobilisation has also raised concerns about the involvement of public officials in political activities, particularly as the country moves closer to another election cycle.
The 2027 presidential election is expected to attract intense political competition, with opposition parties also expected to strengthen their structures and prepare candidates for the contest.
For now, the mobilisation by some Federal Government agency heads signals that political conversations around Tinubu’s possible re-election campaign are already gaining momentum.
