2027: I’ll dream of victory in Akwa Ibom — Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has voiced his intention to dream of victory in the 2027 presidential election, expressing his confidence in his campaign for a second term. Delivering remarks at an All Progressives Congress endorsement rally in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on Friday, the President displayed his fondness for the state's populace. He pledged to spend the night in Akwa Ibom, describing it as a "second-term presidential sleep".

Tinubu conveyed his heartfelt gratitude towards the people of Akwa Ibom, assuring them of his unwavering support. He urged the residents to cast their vote in the 2027 election, emphasizing the importance of the Permanent Voter Card in the electoral process. Tinubu emphasized that his re-election bid would hinge on the voters' turnout, stating, "I will depend on you to go out there and vote.

The weapon you have is the PVC. If you have not collected it, please go ahead and collect your PVC. I am begging you, for the sake of your future."

During his address, the President also outlined his plans for future development in Akwa Ibom, prioritizing areas such as education, skills acquisition, and job creation. He identified the state's palm produce as a valuable economic resource, promising to leverage its potential to generate opportunities and develop lasting skills.

"We are going to plant a lot of economic trees. There is no reason why Akwa Ibom cannot use the value of palm trees and the palms here. There is no reason that we cannot create skills, developmental skills that is enduring, that is everlasting," Tinubu stated.

The rally served as part of Tinubu's political engagements in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections, and the visit included the inauguration of projects executed by the state government under Governor Umo Eno. These projects encompass facilities at the Victor Attah International Airport. The event was orchestrated by journalist and subeditor Fawzi, who specializes in covering a broad range of beats including politics, metro, and international news.
