The Deputy National Chairman of the Consolidated APC Grassroots Movement (CAGraM), Hon. Dr. Agbi Stephen Omobamidele, on behalf of the national leadership of the movement, led a high-powered delegation on a courtesy visit to the Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa, at his office in Abuja.
The delegation included Hon. Khalid Chukwuma, Assistant National Vice Chairman; Hon. Tope Sanya, National Organizing Secretary; Alhaja Karimot Amope Akinpelu, Deputy National Vice Chairman (Southwest); and Olufowobi Olarewaju Desmond, National Director of Media.
The engagement was carried out at the Federal Ministry of Defence in Abuja as part of CAGraM’s strategic institutional outreach to key national stakeholders. According to the leadership of the movement, the visit was aimed at strengthening collaboration between grassroots structures and national security institutions.
Hon. Dr. Agbi Stephen Omobamidele stated that the outreach seeks to address the challenge of misinformation, public distrust, and disconnect between citizens and security institutions. He emphasized that while the Armed Forces and security agencies continue to make efforts to safeguard lives and territorial integrity, there is a need for improved communication and grassroots engagement to reinforce public confidence and national unity.
The delegation formally congratulated General Musa on his appointment, describing it as well deserved and timely given the current security realities. During the visit, the Minister was also presented as a Patron of the movement in recognition of his service to the nation.
In his remarks, Hon. Tope Sanya outlined CAGraM’s strategic mobilization plan ahead of the 2027 general elections, reiterating the movement’s commitment to delivering 10 million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu through its nationwide grassroots network of over 1.2 million members.
Hon. Dr. Agbi reaffirmed the movement’s support for the Renewed Hope Agenda, noting that peace, stability, and security remain foundational to economic growth and shared prosperity.
Addressing well-meaning Nigerians, the leadership of CAGraM called for collective responsibility in nation-building. Olufowobi Olarewaju Desmond, National Director of Media, urged citizens to lend their support not only through political participation but also by promoting unity, responsible information sharing, and constructive engagement with security institutions.
He noted that national security is not solely the responsibility of government agencies, but a shared duty that requires vigilance, cooperation, and community-level support. He encouraged Nigerians to remain law-abiding, support reforms aimed at strengthening institutions, and contribute positively within their communities.
The visit concluded with a renewed expression of partnership and shared commitment to strengthening national unity, improving security outcomes, and consolidating grassroots support for the Renewed Hope Agenda ahead of 2027.
