Arewa Christians for Tinubu 2027 (ACT-2027) has announced a one-day fasting and prayer session for President Bola Tinubu and Nigeria as the group prepares to flag off its campaign activities in Kaduna ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The group also scheduled the dedication of its national secretariat in Abuja for Saturday, October 24, 2026, as part of efforts to strengthen its presence across the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory.
The National Coordinator of ACT-2027, Ambassador Ayuba Jacob Ngbako, announced the plans in a statement issued on October 22, saying the prayer session would seek divine intervention for the president and the country.
The secretariat dedication is scheduled for 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Ogun House, No. 74, Central Business District, Abuja.
Dignitaries expected at the event include Right Reverend Stephen Tunde Adegbite, Archbishop John Praise Daniel, Senator Philip Tanimu Aduda, Reverend Kure Wumanyi and Bishop Jonathan Maaji.
The group also expects the participation of religious leaders, women and youth leaders, development partners and members of the media.
According to ACT-2027, the dedication will usher in a new phase of activities aimed at promoting development through educational support, skills acquisition, empowerment programmes, humanitarian services, peacebuilding and civic education across Northern Nigeria.
The organisation describes itself as an umbrella development platform for Arewa Christians across the 19 northern states and the FCT.
It reaffirmed its commitment to supporting development initiatives, promoting peaceful coexistence and encouraging civic engagement in the region.
The announcement comes as political groups and support organisations begin mobilising ahead of the 2027 general elections.
