President Bola Tinubu has said he would dream of victory in the 2027 presidential election, expressing confidence in his bid for a second term.
Tinubu made the remark on Friday while addressing supporters at the All Progressives Congress endorsement rally in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
The President, who expressed affection for the people of the state, said he would spend the night in Akwa Ibom and described it as a “second-term presidential sleep”.
He said, “Thank you, Akwa Ibom. I love you with my heart, and I will definitely, I will sleep here tonight. It’s going to be a second-term presidential sleep. I will dream of victory too,” he told the crowd.
Tinubu urged the residents to support his re-election bid by turning out to vote in 2027, stressing the importance of collecting their Permanent Voter Cards.
“I will depend on you to go out there and vote. The weapon you have is the PVC. If you have not collected it, please go ahead and collect your PVC. I am begging you, for the sake of your future,” he said.
He also promised a better future for the state, listing development, education, skills acquisition and job creation among the areas he would prioritise if given another term.
“I promise you a better future. I promise you development, I promise you education, I promise you skill development, I promise you jobs,” the President said.
Tinubu further identified the state’s palm produce as an economic resource that could be harnessed to create opportunities and develop lasting skills.
“We are going to plant a lot of economic trees. There is no reason why Akwa Ibom cannot use the value of palm trees and the palms here.
“There is no reason that we cannot create skills, developmental skills that is enduring, that is everlasting,” he added.
The rally was part of the President’s political engagements ahead of the 2027 general elections.
His visit to Akwa Ibom also featured the inauguration of projects executed by the state government under Governor Umo Eno, including facilities at the Victor Attah International Airport.
