Tinubu to Youths: Your Future Hinges on 2027 Election — Collect Your PVCs
President Bola Tinubu on Saturday urged Nigerian youths to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and participate actively in the 2027 general elections, declaring that the outcome of the poll would determine their future.
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally, also referred to as the Rainbow Coalition rally, held at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, the President addressed young Nigerians directly.
“To the youth of Nigeria, I’m looking at you. This election is about you. It’s not about me. Your future depends on this election,” Tinubu said.
He described the PVC as a critical tool for shaping the country’s leadership and fighting poverty through the ballot.
“It is left for you to use the weapon you have. And that weapon is the PVC. If you have not collected yours, please go ahead and collect it. Please. I beg you. I take God beg you,” the President stated.
Tinubu linked active participation in the electoral process to economic progress, saying the weapon against poverty was the election of policies that promote progressive development of the economy, the agenda his administration is pursuing.
He noted that his government was clearing unpaid pensions and gratuities left by previous administrations and working to spread prosperity.
The appeal formed part of the President’s broader message at the Rivers State rally as he continues campaigning ahead of the 2027 elections.
