His Excellency, Hon. Silas Ali Agara, former Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State and Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment, NDE, has accepted his appointment as Director of Support Groups for the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu 2027 Presidential Campaign Council.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Agara described the appointment by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as “a high honor and a sacred trust.”

“It is with deep humility, immense gratitude, and an elevated sense of duty that I accept my appointment as Director to Oversee the Affairs of Support Groups for the 2027 Presidential Campaign Council of our leader, His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said.

Agara said his primary mandate would be to mobilize, align, and coordinate thousands of support groups across the country ahead of the 2027 elections.

He noted that support groups represent “the organic energy, grassroots devotion, and unyielding faith of millions of Nigerians who believe in the Renewed Hope Agenda.”

“As we look toward 2027, my primary mandate will be to bridge every gap, harmonize our collective energy, ensure every voice is heard, and build a unified, formidable structure capable of delivering a decisive victory,” he stated.

The new Director called on the network of support groups nationwide to work with his office to drive strategic engagement at the grassroots.

“This portal is wide open. We will work hand-in-hand, drive strategic engagement at the grassroots level, and translate our shared vision into unmatched political momentum. 

We did it in 2023, we shall do it again in 2027, by the grace of God,” he added.

Agara thanked President Tinubu and the APC leadership for the confidence reposed in him, pledging to work toward building, consolidating, and delivering victory for the party in 2027.
