Ahmed Bala, the Director General of “RELAX, Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria,” has arrived in Kaduna to flag off a presidential campaign aimed at securing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
The movement’s leadership described the group as a sister organisation to the City Boy Movement. Both organisations were founded by Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The visit to Kaduna serves as a strategic move to mobilise grassroots support and consolidate political momentum in Northern Nigeria.
The campaign flag-off in Kaduna marks the beginning of a wider tour intended to highlight the administration’s achievements and prepare the electorate for the next general election cycle.
Political mobilisation and group background
The RELAX group’s activities signal early political mobilisation within the President’s wider support network. By adopting the slogan “Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria,” the group aims to promote the administration’s policy reforms and counter criticisms regarding the current economic landscape.
The connection between the RELAX group and the City Boy Movement provides a direct link to the President’s immediate family, specifically Seyi Tinubu. This alignment suggests a coordinated effort by affinity groups to build a support structure that operates alongside official All Progressives Congress (APC) party machinery.
Political observers note that such movements often emerge well ahead of formal election cycles to shape public discourse and establish presence in key geopolitical zones. The selection of Kaduna, a major political and commercial hub in the North, is a deliberate attempt to engage voters in a region that remains a critical battleground in Nigerian presidential contests.
The group’s strategy appears focused on leveraging the perceived successes of the current administration to build a narrative of continuity. As the tour progresses, the leadership of RELAX is expected to engage various stakeholders, including community leaders and youth groups, to expand their influence across the country.
While these movements are distinct from official government communications, their activities reflect the growing intensity of political preparation for the 2027 polls. The group has not yet released a full schedule for the subsequent stops in their nationwide tour.
