Soludo leads APGA election campaign flag-off, adopts Tinubu as presidential candidate

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has called on the country's young people to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards and actively participate in the 2027 general elections. President Tinubu emphasized that the election is crucial for shaping the future of Nigerian youth, urging them to utilize their PVCs to influence the country's leadership.

The appeal was made at a Rainbow Coalition presidential campaign rally in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Tinubu expressed that the election is not about his personal ambition but about the aspirations of young Nigerians. He urged those who haven't yet collected their PVCs to do so immediately, considering the voter card as a tool to determine the nation's destiny.

Tinubu also highlighted the significance of economic development in combating poverty, stating that his administration is working tirelessly to improve the economy and distribute prosperity. He revealed that previous governments had left large sums of unpaid pensions and gratuities, which his government is currently settling, benefiting retired professionals such as engineers, welders, and teachers.

The President also extended his gratitude to the residents for their support during the campaign rally, which was organized by the Rainbow Coalition, a political alliance led by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to rally support for Tinubu's re-election bid.
