Minna, Nigeria – Prior to the 2027 general elections, former military President Ibrahim Babangida’s allies are spearheading a renewed push for national unity and development.

The Nigerian Project (TNP) paid a courtesy visit to IBB’s Hilltop mansion in Minna, where the former president reaffirmed his firm commitment to a united Nigeria.

During his visit, Babangida stressed that a fractured nation cannot progress. He urged Nigerians to remain committed to their country and its leaders, advocating for inclusive governance that prioritises citizen participation, open debate, and effective policy implementation.

“I believe in one Nigeria, and I stand for its unity,” Babangida declared, praising the TNP for upholding patriotism and national unity.

The TNP, described by its National Convener, Ochiagha Reagan Ufomba, as Nigeria’s fastest-growing political organisation with a nationwide presence, seeks to revive the principles that once propelled Nigeria to success.

Ufomba emphasised their commitment to promoting national discourse, ensuring inclusivity, and removing barriers to intellectual and economic empowerment.

The group is particularly concerned with electoral reform, which aims to restore trust in the electoral process.

Ufomba cited the IBB era as a model for free and fair elections, saying, “IBB presided over Nigeria’s freest and fairest election, and it is time to restore trust in our electoral process.”

He also proposed a return to a two-party system and a thorough overhaul of the electoral system.

Ufomba’s remarks included the cryptic phrase, “The actus reus cannot stand without a corresponding mens rea,” implying the need for accountability in governance.
