The Honourable Minister of State for Works, Rt. Hon. Bello Muhammad Goronyo, Esq., on Wednesday, 10th September 2026, received a delegation of stakeholders from the seven North-West states, led by Dr. Haris H. M. Jibril, in his office, where they formally introduced a proposed support organisation, Bello Muhammad Goronyo (BMG) Associates for Asiwaju/Shettima 2027, dedicated to mobilising support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and Vice President Kashim Shettima ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The delegation, comprising political stakeholders and representatives from the seven North-West states, formally presented the proposed organisation, its structure, operational framework and objectives, and sought the Minister’s acceptance to serve as its National Convener and Leader.

The group also sought the Minister’s permission to adopt his initials, BMG, as the acronym for the organisation, while expressing its intention to operate under his guidance and in accordance with the directives and leadership structure of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the North-West.

Presenting the rationale behind the initiative, the delegation said the proposed organisation was conceived in recognition of Minister Goronyo’s longstanding commitment to political mobilisation, leadership development and grassroots engagement, as well as his contributions to the success of the APC during previous election cycles.

The delegation stated that its members associate the Minister’s leadership with integrity, loyalty, grassroots mobilisation, mentorship and purposeful political engagement, noting that his experience in political organisation and mobilisation makes him particularly suited to provide strategic direction to the proposed platform.

They specifically highlighted his role in youth mobilisation during the 2023 Presidential Campaign Council, as well as his previous responsibilities within the North-West APC political structure, as evidence of his capacity to mobilise people, coordinate stakeholders and provide purposeful leadership towards achieving a common political objective.

According to the delegation, these experiences, together with the Minister’s understanding of the political dynamics of the North-West and his established relationships with stakeholders across the region, informed their decision to establish the organisation under his leadership as a platform to support the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu/Kashim Shettima 2027 presidential ticket.

The delegation explained that the organisation was being established to provide a disciplined, coordinated and purpose-driven platform for mobilising support, engaging Nigerians at the grassroots, communicating the achievements of the Tinubu administration and promoting the policies and programmes of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

They emphasised that the organisation would not only focus on political mobilisation but would also promote constructive engagement with citizens, particularly young people and women, while encouraging responsible participation in the democratic process.

According to the delegation, the proposed structure would comprise representatives across the seven North-West states, with State Coordinators and other officials responsible for youth mobilisation, women mobilisation, organisation, communication and coordination across the three senatorial districts of each state.

The delegation further presented a proposed Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), which would serve as a guiding framework for the organisation, with emphasis on discipline, loyalty, accountability, teamwork, respect for constituted party leadership and responsible political engagement.
Speaking during the meeting, the delegation appealed to the Minister to accept the responsibility of serving as National Convener and Leader, assuring him of the commitment of members to work collectively towards strengthening support for the Tinubu-Shettima administration and ensuring effective grassroots mobilisation across the North-West.

In his response, Minister Goronyo commended the initiative and expressed appreciation to the members of the delegation for their commitment, patriotism and confidence in his leadership.
He noted that many of those present were people with whom he had previously worked closely within the APC campaign structure, including during his tenure as Director of Youth Mobilisation for the North-West and subsequently as Zonal Secretary of the North-West APC.

According to him, the decision of the stakeholders to come together once again demonstrates their shared commitment to Nigeria’s development, unity and prosperity, as well as their confidence in the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Renewed Hope Agenda.

The Minister acknowledged the importance of grassroots mobilisation in strengthening democratic participation and ensuring that government policies and programmes are properly communicated to citizens.

He stressed that political mobilisation should be conducted with discipline, respect, responsibility and a clear understanding of the concerns and aspirations of the people.

Goronyo highlighted some of the major interventions of the Tinubu administration, particularly in infrastructure development, noting that the Federal Government had prioritised road and rail infrastructure as critical drivers of economic growth, national development and improved connectivity.

He cited the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, Trans-Saharan Corridor, Akwanga-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe Corridor and Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway among the administration’s major legacy road projects.

He also noted the ongoing rehabilitation and construction of other strategic road projects across the country, including the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Road, stressing that improved infrastructure would enhance connectivity, facilitate trade, reduce travel time, create economic opportunities and strengthen national integration.

The Minister said the administration’s interventions were not limited to the road sector but also extended to railway development and other critical areas aimed at improving transportation, facilitating movement of goods and people, and supporting economic activities across the country.
He stated that the achievements of the administration were numerous and should be communicated to Nigerians in a clear, respectful and factual manner.

He therefore urged members of the proposed organisation to remain focused, disciplined and committed to constructive engagement with Nigerians, particularly those who may not yet fully understand the policies, programmes and reforms of the Tinubu administration.

The Minister emphasised that effective political mobilisation requires listening to the people, understanding their concerns and communicating government policies in a manner that promotes trust, unity and confidence in democratic institutions.

Goronyo assured the delegation that he had accepted the responsibility entrusted to him and pledged to provide the necessary leadership, guidance and strategic direction to the organisation to the best of his ability.

“As the Secretary of the Support Groups of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the Presidential Campaign Council, we will continue to work with you, mobilise Nigerians and engage our people constructively towards ensuring the successful return of our dear President, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in 2027, Insha Allah,” he said.

Following his acceptance of the leadership responsibility, the Honourable Minister formally inaugurated the organisation and charged its leadership and members to remain united, disciplined, accountable and committed to responsible political mobilisation across the North-West.

He urged the members to build a strong network capable of reaching communities at the grassroots and effectively communicating the policies, programmes and achievements of the Federal Government.

Goronyo further called for unity, discipline and loyalty among members, urging them to work collectively towards strengthening support for the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu and the successful re-election of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu/Kashim Shettima ticket in 2027.

He also expressed his readiness to work with relevant political leaders, party officials and stakeholders across the North-West to ensure that the organisation operates within the framework of responsible political mobilisation, party discipline and effective grassroots engagement.

The Minister charged the leadership of the organisation to ensure inclusiveness and fairness in its operations, while encouraging members to promote peaceful political participation and respect for differing views within the democratic space.
He concluded by praying for divine guidance and continued peace, unity, stability and prosperity for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
