Cross River State Vows 1.5M Votes for Tinubu in 2027

Cross River State is preparing for a major rally dubbed the "mother of all rallies" in Ikom, aimed at mobilizing support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections. The state has pledged to deliver 1.5 million votes for Tinubu, as articulated by Governor Bassey Otu and Chief Emmanuel Ironbar, the Director General of the Socio-Political Group.

The rally is scheduled for Saturday, with a focus on realizing the dream of a successful electoral outcome. Governor Otu commended President Tinubu for federal interventions in the state, particularly regarding the proposed deep seaport and the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project, which are expected to boost economic growth.

Ironbar highlighted the administration's achievements, including infrastructure development and public service improvements, asserting that Tinubu deserves a second term. The rally is seen as a crucial step in countering political blackmail and reinforcing support for Tinubu's infrastructural initiatives and student loan schemes.
