President Bola Tinubu has urged the City Boy Movement (CBM) to intensify youth mobilisation nationwide, saying the 2027 election is about Nigerian youths\u2019 future rather than any candidate.<\/p>\n
Tinubu spoke on Monday when he met with the movement\u2019s national leadership at the State House, Abuja.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigeria must win this election before any candidate does.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are not campaigning for me. You are campaigning for your own future,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n
Tinubu said the future he envisioned was one of renewed hope, adding that the economy is growing steadily.<\/p>\n
\u201c The economy is growing steadily. You will have a future, a future to believe in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The President assured the group that Nigeria would not be set back.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s nothing that will push us back.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I\u2019ve seen here tonight is the fact that your hope, my hope, has been renewed.\u201d<\/p>\n
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the\u00a0 CBM is a youth-driven political advocacy organisation supporting Tinubu\u2019s administration and re-election bid.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the group\u2019s Director-General, Francis Shoga, reiterated its commitment to mobilising 10 million Nigerians for Tinubu\u2019s re-election in 2027.<\/p>\n
Shoga said the organisation had registered 4.6 million members on its national database and engaged more than 50,000 young Nigerians through its Renewed Hope Youth Tour across the six geopolitical zones.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the theme, \u201cYouth, Unity, Action: Building a Stronger and More Prosperous Nigeria\u201d, he said the movement would translate its growing membership and grassroots presence into electoral support for Tinubu.<\/p>\n
He also commended the President for his reforms and economic policies.<\/p>\n
The event was attended by Vice-President Kashim Shettima, top government officials, ministers, youth organisations and All Progressives Congress\u00a0 stalwarts, among others. (NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
