Bassey Otu Named National Patron of RTIFN Group

The national leadership of the political advocacy group Relax, Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria has officially appointed Cross River State Governor Bassey Otu as its National Patron during an official visit to the state capital, signaling a major alignment ahead of the upcoming 2027 electoral cycle.

The national executive council of Relax, Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria (RTIFN) executed a strategic diplomatic visit to the Executive Governor of Cross River State, His Excellency, Senator Bassey Otu, formally installing him as the National Patron of the organization.

The visiting leadership, commanded by the Deputy Director General of RTIFN and prominent film industry veteran, Zack Orji, arrived in Calabar to launch extensive political operations, including the formal establishment of the state executive council, a massive pro-administration demonstration, and a comprehensive free medical outreach program.

During the official presentation ceremony at the Government House, the National Secretary of RTIFN, Arc. Arome Felix, delivered the formal appointment notice to Governor Otu. He announced that the entire nationwide apparatus of the organization is fully mobilized to support the Governor’s re-election campaign in 2027.

Arc. Felix stated that Governor Bassey Otu has exhibited remarkable administrative competence at the local government level. He noted that the expansive, highly visible infrastructural developments observed immediately upon arriving in Calabar serve as clear proof of the Governor’s forward-thinking governance.

In his acceptance address, Governor Bassey Otu praised the national executives for their steadfast commitment to driving national advancement. In a lighthearted moment, the Governor remarked that he had aligned with the organization long before this formal appointment, identifying himself as an unwavering follower of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which he asserted is successfully steering the country toward sustainable growth. Governor Otu promised his full administrative cooperation to the group to maximize their operational efficiency across the state and the wider region.

The delegation was also received by Deputy Governor Peter Agbe Odey, who voiced his satisfaction regarding the arrival of the national leadership team in Calabar, applauding their focus on fostering national cohesion and socio-economic advancement.

Prior to the statehouse reception, the national officials were greeted at the Margaret Ekpo International Airport by the Cross River State Coordinator, Ms. Anjor Obande. Commenting on local operational readiness, Ms. Obande affirmed that her leadership team is fully prepared to generate overwhelming grassroots backing for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, revealing that the formal enrollment drive for the organization has already launched aggressively across all local government areas.

The multi-day diplomatic visit is scheduled to conclude with the formal swearing-in ceremony of the Cross River State RTIFN leadership panel, followed by a public awareness rally designed to educate and mobilize local populations regarding the federal government’s economic reforms, alongside an expansive humanitarian medical intervention providing essential healthcare services to vulnerable regional populations.

The official state visit was attended by a broad assembly of senior organizational leaders, including the National Women Leader, the South-South Regional Coordinator, and executive representatives from Kogi, Akwa Ibom, and adjacent states. The delegation also featured the Director of Townhall and Special Duties, the Director of Entertainment, the Director of Contact and Mobilization, the Director of Strategy, Implementation, and Monitoring, and the Director of Protocol, alongside various organizational stakeholders.

Future Outlook

The formal integration of Governor Bassey Otu into the leadership structure of the RTIFN signifies a calculated consolidation of political forces in the South-South region ahead of the 2027 general elections. By tying local infrastructural achievements directly to the federal administration’s economic reforms, the movement seeks to build a resilient, dual-layered support base that reinforces both state and federal incumbency. The introduction of community-level healthcare programs alongside aggressive registration drives indicates that the organization intends to transition from a purely ideological advocacy group into a highly structured, grassroots mobilization machine capable of influencing voter sentiment well before the next electoral cycle begins.
