The Father Abraham Mandate (FAM) has expressed strong approval for the appointment of its National Coordinator, Olorogun Ovoke Idogun, to the Entertainment Committee of the upcoming All Progressives Congress (APC) National Convention. This development comes as preparations intensify for the major political event scheduled to take place next week in Abuja, Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory.
Idogun's Appointment and Statement
In an official statement released by FAM, Idogun conveyed his deep honor at being selected for this significant role within the party's convention framework. He characterized the appointment not merely as a position but as a profound call to service, emphasizing his commitment to contributing to the party's objectives.
"I am both happy and honored to serve as a member of our esteemed APC National Convention Committee," Idogun stated. "This is a call to service as we unite with our party leader, the father of our nation, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, alongside our party chairman, the executive, and other leaders to steer Nigeria toward a destination of progress and renewed hope."
Welcoming Party Faithful
Idogun extended a warm welcome on behalf of FAM to all distinguished APC stalwarts and patriots converging on Abuja for the convention. He framed the gathering as a pivotal moment to chart the course for positive infinite possibilities, advocating for unity to achieve sustainable growth, development, and the reinforcement of what he termed "positive Renewed Hope" and "indefatigable resilience" across the nation.
He further elaborated that the convention aims to solidify a bridge of "continuity, courage, and progress," ultimately working toward building a Nigeria characterized by shared and assured prosperity. "That is precisely why we must all rally behind our President for continuity," Idogun asserted, underscoring his support for Tinubu's leadership.
FAM's Political Stance and Support for Tinubu
It is noteworthy that FAM, a civic awareness and policy-support platform, has been actively backing President Tinubu's 2027 re-election campaign since last year. The group's decision stems from its positive assessment of Tinubu's efforts in turning the country around, which they believe are now yielding tangible results.
Idogun explained that FAM's core driving force is credible, informed support. "We firmly believe that patience, stability, and a thorough understanding of governance processes are far more effective than emotional or confrontational messaging," he said. "Our vision is to foster a Nigeria where citizens are better informed and more confident in governance and long-term national development."
Mission and Outreach
The mission of FAM, as outlined by Idogun, focuses on promoting awareness and comprehension of governance and policy reforms through calm communication, public sensitization, and responsible engagement. The group currently boasts a robust network of approximately one million members and has initiated outreach to other initiatives, including Renewed Hope and City Boy, seeking collaboration for the greater good, particularly concerning Tinubu's 2027 re-election.
"Yes, we have indeed reached out to them, and we are optimistic about working together again," Idogun confirmed. "We collaborated successfully in 2023, and we are confident that we will join forces once more for this cause."
As the APC convention approaches, Idogun's role on the Entertainment Committee highlights FAM's growing influence and its strategic alignment with the ruling party's agenda, setting the stage for heightened political activities in the lead-up to the 2027 elections.
