Group pledges 10m votes for Tinubu

A youth mobilization group, The Bridge for Renewed Hope, has publicly declared its support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027, promising to deliver 10 million votes. The group made this commitment during its national inauguration ceremony, themed “Connecting the Youth to a Stable Future.” The event also marked the formal unveiling of the group's mobilization structure and its alignment with the "City Boy movement."

“

We are going to work day and night to ensure that we deliver 10 million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.

Rowland Odih, the National Coordinator of The Bridge for Renewed Hope, stated that the members decided to back Tinubu based on what he described as the President's clear policy direction and dedication to including young people in governance. The group's stated aim is to bolster youth participation in national politics and rally support for the President leading up to the 2027 election.

Odih asserted that Tinubu's administration has significantly increased youth representation within government structures. "Today, we have over 40 per cent youth participation in government structures. It shows a deliberate effort to hand over leadership to the younger generation," he claimed. He also stressed the importance of community sensitization, particularly in redirecting young people involved in insecurity.

“

The young people are the leaders of tomorrow, and today we are already in government. Today, we have over 40 per cent youth participation in government structures. It shows a deliberate effort to hand over leadership to the younger generation.

Okpokwu Ogeniyi, Convener of the Concerned APC Members Forum and Chairman of the Technical Committee of the Renewed Hope Network, echoed Odih's sentiments. He highlighted that the movement reflects the growing involvement of young people in national politics and argued that Tinubu's administration has actively created opportunities for this engagement. The group's pledge underscores a concerted effort to mobilize youth support for the incumbent president.

“

We must work together to sensitise our communities. Many of those involved in insecurity are young people, and we must redirect them.
