The Network Capacity Building for Nigeria (NECABN) has endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term ambition ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The group said it is set to mobilise grassroots support across the country, leveraging its over 72 million registered members to strengthen the President’s re-election bid.
Addressing journalists in a briefing in Abuja, the President of NECABN, Dr. Hussena Otaru, described the groups endorsement as a vote of confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership and ongoing reforms, noting that the organisation is committed to rallying Nigerians at the community level in support of his vision for national development and a more prosperous Nigeria.
Dr. Otaru added that the group’s nationwide structure and extensive membership base would be fully deployed to promote voter engagement and consolidate support for the President as preparations for the 2027 polls gather momentum.
“Our team, the Network Capacity Building for Nigeria cuts across six geo political zones of the country and we control a total of 72million Nigerians under the group of NECBN where we have 419 registered other NGOs training and directly impacting the lives of Nigerians, we also supported the incumbent through Tinubu Network Capacity Building: we called it Renewal Hope for Nigeria, that was also through the broader platform of NECABN and this same numbers of people believe in our political alignments and interest.”
Dr Otaru recalled that NECABN which previously operated under the registered name Nigerian women and youth empowerment garnered 2,779,845 votes across each states of Nigeria, describing the group of NGOs as an integral contributor to the late Muhammadu Buhari’s 12million votes over the years.
“NECABN had operated under our previous registered name of Nigerian women and youth empowerment and these network of people had been supportive of transformative and progressive democracy in Nigeria, since 1993, but when we registered NECABN in 2010 we saw the need to further support every worthy cause that deepens Nigeria’s democracy and I must say emphatically that the renewed hope agenda of President Tinubu fits into our vision and expectations for Nigeria.
“This NGO under its former registered name mobilised grassroots support for the winner of the 1993 Presidential election, Chief MKO Abiola and with this NGO we also supported the election of ex-president Chief Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999, also the NGO supported the Presidency of late President Yaradua and Goodluck Jonathan as his Vice the we called Yaradua/Jonathan movement,” she added.
Dr. Otaru noted the economic challenges Nigerians had faced during the first year of the Tinubu administration, she commended Nigerians for the sacrifices made so far in the previous months but urged citizens to further trust the administration of President Bola Tinubu to consolidate with gains on the successes recorded in the past two years.
