ABUJA – The Nigeria Union of Pensioners, NUP, on Wednesday, officially endorsed President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 general election, urging millions of pensioners nationwide to vote overwhelmingly for him in gratitude for what it described as his unparalleled support for retirees.

Mazi Godwin Abumisi, National President of the NUP, issued the directive in Abuja during the commissioning of the Comrade Godwin Abumisi Pensioners’ Legacy House — a new multi-purpose hall and apartment complex at the union’s national headquarters.

Speaking to dignitaries, labour leaders and pensioners from across the country, Abumisi said President Tinubu’s administration has shown strong commitment to pensioners’ welfare, citing approved pension increases, payment of arrears and settlement of accrued entitlements.
