2027 : Use your PVCs to defeat tyranny - Tinubu tells youths

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged Nigerian youths to obtain their permanent voter cards (PVCs) in order to defeat tyranny and those who do not appreciate the importance of a thriving economy during the 2027 elections. During a working visit to Akwa Ibom State, Tinubu emphasized the need for the country to garner massive votes from the youth demographic as he continues to promote development across the nation.

Recalling his dedication to defend democracy and freedom during the military era, Tinubu expressed optimism regarding the support he would receive from the electorate. He assured the youths of a better future, including good education, skill development, and job opportunities. Tinubu pledged his support for the state, particularly highlighting the approval of an international airport and deep-sea port in Akwa Ibom.

The President criticized candidates who fled to other states during crises, asserting that he confronted the Atlantic Ocean in Lagos as governor. He commended Governor Umo Eno for effectively addressing the erosion menace in Akwa Ibom, stating that Tinubu confronted similar challenges during his tenure.

Tinubu described his visit to Akwa Ibom as a homecoming, reminiscing about his time as a Mobil auditor, where he contributed to the development of Ibeno, Eket, and other regions. He praised Governor Eno for his commitment and visionary leadership, emphasizing that his request for the upgrade of the airport received immediate approval due to the governor's proven track record.

Furthermore, Tinubu highlighted the anticipated economic benefits and development that the Ibom International Airport terminal, which he ceremonially inaugurated, would bring to both the state and the country.
