The event would be themed “Consolidating the Renewed Hope Agenda: A Strategic Partnership for National Progress.”
Hassan explained that the group’s primary objective was to serve as a pillar of support for Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, mobilise grassroots backing, and create open dialogue between government and citizens.
Tinubu support group promises 2 million votes
Speaking at the briefing, Hassan said:
“This group is a support group for the President, and we intend to launch the group on 20th November, 2025, at the Merit House. This launch signals the beginning of a more coordinated, inclusive, and people-centered support system that will help translate the Renewed Hope Agenda into tangible progress for all.”
He added that PAT had membership across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, with over two million registered members.
“Our members are those who vote with PVCs. So come 2027, the president should start counting his votes from 2 million upward. PAT is giving the President 2 million votes,” Hassan stated.
He stressed that leadership required sacrifice and support, noting that Tinubu’s policy direction showed clear intent to transform the nation.
“When you have a president who is ready to take tough decisions, I think all he deserves is sacrifice and support. When we sacrifice, we’ll definitely see the results,” he said.
PAT highlights Tinubu administration’s achievements
The group also pointed to several achievements of the Tinubu administration. These included: The Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), which had supported over 600,000 beneficiaries.
The conditional cash transfer scheme, with more than 71 million Nigerians receiving ₦25,000, ₦50,000, or ₦70,000 monthly. The Technical and Vocational Educational Training (TVET) programme, which had already enrolled over 250,000 graduates.

Energy group backs Tinubu’s 2027 re-election
Legit.ng earlier reported that the Alliance for Energy Stability and Economic Growth (AESEG), declared support for the 2027 re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The civil society coalition said Tinubu’s administration hadd restored investor confidence in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
The group said the recent approval granted to Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPco) and Nigerian Agip Exploration Limited (NAE) to acquire TotalEnergies’ 12.5 per cent stake in Oil Mining Lease (OML) 118 was proof of the trust international oil companies (IOCs) now repose in Nigeria’s regulatory environment under Tinubu’s leadership.
