Relax DG Urges South-South Support For Tinubu 2027 Re-Election Bid

By Niger Delta Youth Council November 7, 2026

The Director-General of Relax, Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria, Hon. Ahmed Bala, has appealed to residents and political stakeholders in the South-South geopolitical zone to rally behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections. Speaking on the sidelines of a political mobilisation event in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, the organization head pointed to federal investments in transport infrastructure, economic reforms, and regional attention as key justifications for a second term.

Hon. Bala described the South-South as a vital economic engine for the country, emphasizing its critical role in national revenue generation, maritime commerce, and energy security. He noted that ongoing federal projects and environmental initiatives are addressing longstanding structural challenges in the Niger Delta, arguing that the administration's policy trajectory is designed to strengthen national productivity and attract long-term investment.

Addressing economic concerns, the organization leader suggested that the federal administration's ongoing reform agenda should be measured against its potential to foster sustainable growth rather than just short-term transitional hurdles. He maintained that residents of the region stand to benefit from continued infrastructure investment and focused attention on regional economic prosperity.

Beyond political mobilization, Hon. Bala underscored the importance of youth involvement in national development, encouraging young Nigerians to embrace entrepreneurship, skills acquisition, and agricultural innovation. He noted that non-governmental support networks like RTIFN operate alongside youth-oriented groups like the City Boy Movement to promote awareness of government programs and encourage citizen participation.

The Port Harcourt gathering forms part of an expanding schedule of political events across Nigeria as groups begin organizing ahead of the 2027 presidential polls. With the South-South representing a key strategic constituency, political campaigns are increasingly focusing on regional infrastructure delivery, economic opportunities, and developmental partnerships to secure voter backing.
