2027: Arewa Christians Declare Prayers for Tinubu, Unveil Abuja Secretariat
Arewa Christians for Tinubu 2027 (ACT-2027) has announced a one-day fasting and prayer session for President Bola Tinubu and Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections, alongside plans to strengthen its mobilisation across Northern Nigeria.
The group also disclosed that it would dedicate its national secretariat in Abuja on Saturday, October 24, 2026, as it prepares for its planned campaign flag-off in Kaduna.
The National Coordinator of ACT-2027, Ambassador Ayuba Jacob Ngbako, announced the plans in a statement dated October 22, saying the prayer session was intended to seek divine intervention for Tinubu and the country ahead of the next election cycle.
The secretariat dedication ceremony is scheduled to hold from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Ogun House, No. 74, Central Business District, Abuja.

Expected at the event are Right Reverend Stephen Tunde Adegbite, Archbishop John Praise Daniel, Senator Philip Tanimu Aduda, Reverend Kure Wumanyi and Bishop Jonathan Maaji.
Religious leaders, women and youth leaders, development partners and media representatives are also expected to attend.

According to the organisation, the secretariat dedication will mark the beginning of a new phase of activities designed to translate faith into practical development initiatives across the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory.
The planned programmes include educational support, skills acquisition, empowerment schemes, humanitarian services, peacebuilding and civic education.
ACT-2027 describes itself as an umbrella development platform for Arewa Christians across Northern Nigeria and the FCT.
The group said it remained committed to supporting development initiatives, promoting peaceful coexistence and encouraging civic participation across the region.
The announcement comes as political parties and support groups begin preparations for the 2027 general elections, with various organisations stepping up engagement around prospective candidates and campaigns.
