A coalition of labour leaders, professionals and artisans operating under the aegis of Working People United (WOPU) has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primaries, describing the outcome as a historic endorsement of the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
According to results announced by former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim, who chaired the Presidential Election Committee, Tinubu polled over 10 million votes in the direct primary to secure the party’s ticket for the upcoming general election, with his only rival, Stanley Osifo, scoring 16,503 votes.
In his acceptance speech, Tinubu assured Nigerians that he would consolidate on the gains achieved by his administration over the last three years.
In a statement released in Abuja and signed by the National Coordinator of WOPU, Comrade Williams Eniredonana Akporeha, the movement stated: “The votes of 10.9 million Nigerians cannot be an error; they were earned through policies that prioritise the welfare, productivity, and future of the people.

From our members in 8,809 wards to the 774 local government areas, the message is clear: working people trust President Tinubu to finish the good work he has started.”
The statement noted that the President’s pro people interventions, including the Student Loan Scheme, support for small businesses and efforts to stabilise the economy despite global challenges, had solidified his bond with artisans, farmers, transporters and professionals across the nation.
WOPU reaffirmed its commitment to mobilising its over 70 million strong grassroots network to ensure the President’s victory in the general election.
“We are not just celebrating today. We are preparing for tomorrow. The 4+4 Renewed Hope vision is a mission that must be completed, and working people will lead the charge,” the statement concluded.
