By Tgnews Reporter

On June 11, 2026, Bishop Abu Dawaki, Director General of the Northern Nigerian Christians Development Initiative (NNCDI), led a high-level delegation on a courtesy visit to Dr. Umar Tanko Yakasai, Director General of the Tinubu Support Group (TSG), in a renewed push to strengthen national unity and consolidate support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term ambition.

The visit, held in a cordial and strategic atmosphere, was aimed at reinforcing NNCDI’s commitment to inclusive governance, interfaith collaboration, and sustained socio-political stability across Nigeria.

Speaking during the meeting, Bishop Dawaki expressed strong confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership, describing his administration’s policies as “progress-driven” with tangible impacts on socio-economic development across the country.

He reiterated NNCDI’s support for the President’s reform agenda, noting that the group remains committed to mobilising grassroots backing for initiatives designed to promote peace, development, and equity, particularly in Northern Nigeria.

The discussions also placed strong emphasis on the need for sustained dialogue among Nigeria’s diverse religious communities. Both leaders underscored that national progress depends largely on unity, mutual understanding, and the deliberate inclusion of all faith-based perspectives in governance.

Bishop Dawaki further stressed the importance of Christian participation in Nigeria’s political and developmental space, advocating for broader representation that reflects the country’s religious diversity.

The meeting also explored possible areas of collaboration between the Tinubu Support Group (TSG) and NNCDI, particularly in grassroots mobilisation, civic education, and policy awareness campaigns.

Both organisations agreed on the need for structured outreach programmes to sensitize citizens on government policies and encourage greater civic engagement in national development efforts.

In his response, Dr. Umar Tanko Yakasai welcomed the delegation and commended NNCDI for its commitment to national unity and constructive engagement. He reaffirmed TSG’s readiness to work with faith-based and community organisations that promote peace, stability, and support for the current administration’s developmental agenda.

The courtesy visit concluded with a mutual reaffirmation of commitment to national cohesion, interfaith cooperation, and sustained support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership.

The engagement is widely seen as a significant step toward bridging religious divides and strengthening collaborative platforms for national development.
