Senate President Akpabio Urges City Boy Movement to Stay Focused on Tinubu’s 2027 Re-Election Bid

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has urged members of the City Boy Movement to remain committed to ensuring President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027. He gave the advice on Wednesday during a meeting with the group at his office in the National Assembly, Abuja, describing them as key players in shaping the nation's political future. Akpabio, who also serves as Grand Patron of the movement, said their involvement would guarantee President Tinubu had a presence in every polling unit across the country.

Akpabio warned that it would be a tragedy for any member of the movement to derail from this mission, stressing that they were in a privileged position to influence national direction. He assured them of full support from the administration, stating, "We assure you that here we are 100 per cent with you." According to Akpabio, the movement's grassroots mobilisation would prevent a repeat of lost votes seen during the 2023 election. He credited the group with already making an impact, saying political parties were feeling the presence of the movement even if not visibly.

He predicted that opposition parties would cry rigging if Tinubu wins in 2027, but urged members to ignore such claims and remain focused. Akpabio described the City Boy Movement as a powerful force, likening it to a wind that cannot be seen but is felt nationwide. He expressed confidence that the group would ensure a decisive victory for Tinubu, noting their role in securing agents for the President in every polling unit.
