Akpabio predicts opposition will claim Tinubu's 2027 re-election was rigged

Akpabio made these remarks while hosting members of the City Boy Movement, a pro-Tinubu support group, at the National Assembly in Abuja. As the Grand Patron of the movement, Akpabio encouraged the group to intensify grassroots mobilization for Tinubu's re-election campaign. He expressed confidence in Tinubu's second term victory, despite anticipated criticism from the opposition.

Akpabio emphasized that the movement would ensure Tinubu has agents in every polling unit to prevent a recurrence of votes allegedly lost during the 2023 election. He urged members and Nigerian youths to remain focused, avoid cultism and drug abuse, and participate actively in politics to shape the country's future. Earlier, Francis Shoga, Director-General of the City Boy Movement, said their visit aimed to strengthen collaboration with the National Assembly ahead of nationwide mobilization efforts, seeking guidance and support for their programs and civic engagement among young Nigerians.
