“What unites us is not politics for its own sake, but the conviction that good governance, economic stability, and social justice are achievable under visionary and inclusive leadership,” he added.
According to Geoffrey, the organization believes that civil society must go beyond mere advocacy, describing it as “the heartbeat of democracy, the conscience of governance, and the bridge between the people and power.”
“For too long, this space has been underutilized in shaping national political direction. Today, we are changing that narrative,” he said.
He noted that Team Tinubu seeks to build an organized civil society front that will not only support the re-election of President Tinubu but also ensure that the administration’s policies and programs reach citizens at the grassroots, from the bustling cities to the most remote communities.
Geoffrey said the movement was motivated by the president’s leadership style, describing him as “courageous, reform-minded, and resilient.”
“In just over two years, we have witnessed President Tinubu’s bold economic restructuring, efforts to stabilize the polity, rebuild institutions, and strengthen Nigeria’s international standing. The Renewed Hope Agenda is gradually taking root,” he stated.
He, however, acknowledged that nation-building is not an easy task, stressing that it requires persistence, patience, and partnership.
“That is why Team Tinubu is stepping forward to serve as a bridge between government and the governed, leadership and citizenship, and between the promise of reform and the people it seeks to empower,” he said.
The group urged Nigerians to shun apathy and take active part in national development.
“Democracy thrives when citizens participate, not spectate. This is not the time for indifference or cynicism. It is the time for renewed hope, renewed commitment, and renewed action,” Geoffrey declared.
He emphasized that civil society should serve not only as watchdogs but as partners in policy advocacy, social mobilization, and national development.
“We call upon every group that believes in democracy, peace, accountability, and progress to join us in this great journey of consolidating governance gains and building a Nigeria that works for everyone,” he added.
In his remarks, Agune James Malu, said, “Team Tinubu 2027 today announces its unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his administration, citing his commitment to economic stability, national security,and social progress.
The Group concluded that this declaration underscores our belief that president Tinubu is the right leader to guide this nation through its challenges and secure a prosperous future.

Malu “We are proud to stand with president Tinubu, we have been particularly impressed by the administration’s effect in implementing infrastructure projects, strengthening international relations, and promoting technological innovation. This is a testament to the president’s vision and dedication to serving all Nigerians.”
