Tinubu Appeals to Youth for 2027 Elections in Rivers

On Saturday, Bola Tinubu urged Nigerian youths to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and participate in the 2027 general elections, stating that their future depended on the election's outcome. This appeal was made at an All Progressives Congress presidential campaign rally organized by the Rainbow Coalition in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Governor Siminalayi Fubara pledged to deliver at least three million votes for Tinubu, crediting Nyesom Wike's leadership for the political arrangement. Tinubu emphasized that the election was about the future of young Nigerians, not his personal ambition, and described the PVC as a weapon against poverty and a tool for political participation.

He thanked Rivers residents for their support during the 2023 presidential election and commended Wike for his contributions to infrastructure development. The rally was attended by several political leaders, including Vice-President Kashim Shettima and Senate President Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom North).

Fubara's pledge highlighted the renewed alliance between political camps after previous disagreements.
