On November 7, 2026, Hon. Ahmed Bala, the Director‑General of Relax, Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria (RTIFN), addressed journalists at a presidential campaign rally in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, urging residents of the South‑South geopolitical zone to back President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for re‑election in the 2027 general election.
Bala cited the Tinubu administration’s record in infrastructure development, economic reforms, energy security and renewed focus on the Niger Delta as evidence of progress. He said the federal government is investing in road networks, transportation, energy projects, environmental restoration and economic diversification to tackle long‑standing development challenges in the region.
Describing the South‑South as a “critical contributor to national revenue, energy security, maritime commerce and industrial growth,” the RELAX chief highlighted the area’s strategic importance to Nigeria’s overall economic development. He urged that the region’s tangible development, improved living conditions and greater economic opportunities be reflected in the upcoming electoral decision.
The people of the South‑South deserve tangible development, improved living conditions, greater economic opportunities and a stronger voice in the nation’s development agenda.
Bala also stressed the role of youth, noting that RTIFN’s mission extends beyond political mobilisation to encouraging young Nigerians to pursue entrepreneurship, innovation, agriculture, skills acquisition and other productive economic activities. He argued that national transformation cannot rely on government alone but requires active citizen participation, especially from the country’s youthful population.
Regarding the Niger Delta, Bala pointed out its significance for increasing crude‑oil production, strengthening energy security, boosting government revenue and attracting investment in the petroleum sector. He expressed optimism that sustained attention to infrastructure, environmental concerns, industrial development and investment opportunities would position the region for greater prosperity.
RELAX, a sister organisation to the City Boy Movement founded by Barrister Seyi Tinubu, continues to promote President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda” and to mobilise support across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones. The Port Harcourt rally forms part of a broader wave of political activity as the South‑South emerges as a key arena for rallying support ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
