Other parties are sleeping ahead of 2027 elections – Akpabio predicts Tinubu’s victory

Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has claimed the City Boy Movement will ensure victory for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

He stated this while addressing a delegation of the City Boy Movement during a courtesy visit to his office on Wednesday.

Akpabio who commended the commitment and patriotism exhibited by the group whose primary mission is to ensure Tinubu is back in office for a second tenure as President in 2027, said, “The City Boy Movement is like a wind blowing across the nation. You may not see it but you can feel it. Every political party in Nigeria is already feeling the impact of the City Boy Movement.

“Never again shall we have a situation in any polling unit in Nigeria where Mr President will not have an agent because we have the City Boy Movement. Nigeriatravel guide

“In the last election, if your Movement had existed, many of our votes that were not counted in many polling units would have been counted.

“I want you to have it in mind that you have come up at the right time and l do know that you are all poised to ensure maximum victory come 2027.

“Know that while you are doing all these and you are going round the country mobilising, sensitising the populace, the voters, educating them, other political parties are sleeping. They are not doing the same.

“But when the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be announced, you will hear people saying it is rigged. That they did this, they did that. Ignore all those things and remain focused.

“This is now your turn to shape your future. This is your turn to take the lead on how Nigeria should go. I know that as you campaign for the President, you are also learning and acquiring knowledge on how to mobilise and campaign for yourselves in future.

“So what l will say is that, we are with you. The Senate of the the Federal Republic of Nigeria is pleased with the youths of this country who have decided to tow the right path.

“We are mindful of the fact that some youths, as a result of cultism and drug abuse, have fallen aside and are misguided. We are mindful of that.

“But when they say “build the youths,” because they are the future of the nation, l also want to urge “maintain the elders,” because they are the people today that God has given wisdom to.”
