THE ROAD TO 2027 MUST LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND!
Our youths, women, and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) must be at the heart of our political mobilisation, not at its margins.
Today, I received the leadership of the City Boy Movement, led by its Director-General, Hon. Francis Oluwatosin Shoga, in Abuja. I commended their commitment to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election and urged them to deepen their engagement with young Nigerians, particularly the 10.8 million newly registered voters recorded by INEC.
With 4.8 million members and counting, I encouraged the movement to mobilise at least one additional youth voter per member. I also stressed the need to prioritise women and PLWDs, whose representation in our political and public institutions remains unacceptably low.
I am encouraged that President Tinubu has embraced the National Assembly’s legislative efforts to advance inclusion for these groups, with executive bills expected to follow.
Beyond winning elections, political movements must champion good governance, youth development, civic education, and community service. That is why I was pleased that the City Boy Movement embraced my proposed PBAT Stewardship Account, which will help communicate the President’s policies, programmes, and achievements to Nigerians.
Our politics must be measured not only by the votes we win, but by the lives we improve and the people we bring along.
Together, let us build a stronger, more inclusive Nigeria where every citizen has a stake in our democracy.
