The Asiwaju Re-election Frontiers (ARF), a political support group, has inaugurated its national and zonal coordinators to strengthen mobilisation for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
The National Coordinator of ARF and South-West Coordinator, Amb. Olasimbo Akinyele, disclosed this at a news conference on Monday in Abuja.
Akinyele said the group would establish a coordinated nationwide support network through grassroots engagement, stakeholder collaboration and peaceful political participation.
He said ARF was backing Tinubu’s re-election to enable his administration to sustain the implementation of its policies and reform agenda.
However, he acknowledged the challenges confronting Nigerians, including the rising cost of living, unemployment, insecurity and the need for improved public services.
According to him, political discussions should prioritise these concerns, while government reforms must translate into tangible improvements in citizens’ lives.
Akinyele said the group would promote informed public discussions on the administration’s policies, achievements, challenges and priorities.
He explained that the inauguration would strengthen ARF’s structures across the six geopolitical zones, with the zonal coordinators expected to engage political stakeholders, coordinate state-level structures and expand grassroots mobilisation.
The inaugurated zonal coordinators are Comrade Malcolm Adakole for the North-Central; Kachalla Mohammed for the North-East; Abubakar Muhammed for the North-West; Mrs Juliet Benson for the South-East; Abel Asuquo for the South-South; and Akinyele for the South-West.
He said the coordinators were expected to demonstrate commitment, accountability and organisational competence while promoting unity among members.
Akinyele listed nationwide mobilisation, policy communication, organisational discipline, peaceful democratic participation and increased involvement of women and young people among the group’s priorities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He added that ARF would collaborate with community leaders, traditional institutions, youth organisations, women, professionals and other stakeholders to expand its reach.
The coordinator pledged that the group would operate within the Constitution and applicable electoral laws, respect other political actors and reject political violence.

He urged members and supporters to advance the group’s objectives through factual communication, constructive dialogue and peaceful participation in the democratic process.
Akinyele also called on political stakeholders and groups with similar objectives to collaborate with ARF, noting that its credibility would depend on effective leadership, discipline and responsiveness to citizens’ concerns.
He said the inauguration marked a new phase in the group’s efforts to strengthen its organisational structures and mobilise support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
