In a powerful display of unity and political consciousness, the South West Youths Arise Movement has passionately appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to throw his weight behind the re-election bid of former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, in 2027.
The appeal was made during a well-attended summit held in Lagos, themed: “Targeted: How to Achieve Millions of Votes for Tinubu’s Re-Election.”
The event brought together youth leaders, political strategists, community mobilisers, and stakeholders from across the South West region, all united by a common goal of strengthening grassroots structures and consolidating electoral victories.
In their communiqué, the youth body emphasized the need for unity within the progressive family, stressing that strategic reconciliation and inclusiveness will be key to achieving overwhelming victory for President Tinubu in 2027.
They described Ambode as a seasoned administrator, a loyal party man, and a silent achiever whose tenure as governor left indelible marks on infrastructure development, civil service reform, and urban renewal. According to them, bringing him back into frontline politics through a re-election bid would not only consolidate party strength in Lagos but also energize millions of supporters across the South West.
Speakers at the summit highlighted practical strategies for mobilising millions of votes, including, strengthening ward-to-ward youth engagement, expanding digital mobilisation and voter education, deepening community-based outreach programmes, as well as promoting unity among party stakeholders.
They affirmed that the South West remains the stronghold of progressive politics and assured President Tinubu of unwavering loyalty and massive electoral support.
The group showered encomiums on President Tinubu, describing him as a visionary statesman, a master political strategist, and the architect of modern progressive politics in Nigeria. They noted that his decades of sacrifice, mentorship, and nation-building have paved the way for a new generation of leaders.
According to the youths, the 2027 election is not merely about politics but about consolidating reforms, sustaining economic transformation, and protecting the democratic gains achieved under his leadership.
The summit concluded with a passionate appeal for reconciliation, collaboration, and strategic inclusiveness within party ranks. The South West Youths Arise Movement expressed strong belief that unity between President Tinubu and Ambode would further solidify Lagos and the entire South West as the backbone of progressive politics in Nigeria.
As chants of solidarity filled the hall, one message stood clear: the youths are ready, the structure is strengthening, and the resolve to deliver millions of votes in 2027 remains unwavering.
