The Southeast campaign structure of President Bola Tinubu has intensified its mobilisation efforts ahead of the 2027 general elections, with the Deputy National Leader of the Renewed Hope for Greater Nigeria (RHGN), Mazi Franklin Ngoforo, distributing 5,000 smartphones and other smart devices to members of the newly established Booth Army across the region.
Ngoforo, who presented the devices in Owerri on Thursday, described the gesture as his personal contribution to the Tinubu re-election campaign. He explained that the initiative was aimed at strengthening grassroots mobilisation, improving communication and ensuring effective coordination of voters before and during Election Day.
According to him, the deployment of the devices would equip members of the Booth Army with the necessary technological tools to drive an organised and coordinated campaign across the five Southeast states.
The RHGN leader declared that the organisation would intensify its mobilisation activities ahead of the elections, with the objective of making the Southeast’s support for President Tinubu visible at the polls.
He described the distribution as a strategic investment in grassroots engagement and an indication of the commitment of the region’s campaign structure to the 2027 electoral process.
Ngoforo further maintained that the Tinubu administration had made significant interventions in the Southeast, particularly in addressing insecurity, promoting infrastructural development and extending economic empowerment initiatives to the region.
He argued that the Southeast had benefited from the administration’s development agenda alongside other parts of the country, adding that these interventions should form part of the issues considered by voters during the 2027 general elections.
He expressed the view that a second term for President Tinubu would further strengthen the integration of the Southeast into the national political and economic mainstream.
According to him, sustained engagement between the region and the Federal Government would help address longstanding concerns about the marginalisation of Ndigbo.
He urged members of the Booth Army to deploy the distributed devices effectively in building an extensive grassroots network and coordinating the organisation’s mobilisation activities ahead of the elections.
