In a dynamic gathering aimed at driving youth mobilization and political engagement, the Forum of Special Advisers and Senior Special Assistants to Nigerian Governors on Youth Development has formally declared its full support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027. The forum also named Emeka Ujagba Managing Director of Bolingo Experia Hotel and Towers Abuja, as Patron of the association.
Hon. Eric Uwakwe, Special Adviser to the Imo State Governor on Youth Affairs and National Chairman of the Forum, unveiled the forum’s plan to launch the Renewed Hope Youth Ambassadors, a grassroots structure that will carry the President’s policies, achievements, and programs directly to young people in communities nationwide.
He disclosed this during an honorary award to the MD a forum event held in Abuja.
“Our mission is to bridge the gap between governance and the youth constituency,” Uwakwe stated. “We are aligning the youth across Nigeria for a generational shift — one that supports the vision of His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu.”
Highlighting the significance of June 12, Uwakwe announced a “Tinubu Loyalty Walk” involving over 10,000 youths in honor of the President’s governance strides and national development agenda.
Uwakwe called on Nigerian youths to remain patient and believe in the President’s policies, emphasizing progress in agriculture, economy, fuel subsidy reforms, and inclusive youth engagement. He also praised the appointment of Hon. Ayodele Olawande, Minister for Youth Development, describing it as a bold step towards youthful inclusion.
“President Tinubu has done more for the youth than any leader in recent times,” Uwakwe said. “We are proud to support him, and we are saying clearly in 2027, there is no vacancy in Aso Rock.”
The MD Bolingo Hotel Emeka Ujagba expressed excitement at his new role as Patron of the Forum.
“I’m honored to be trusted by this vibrant youth movement,” Francis said. “I’ve seen their programs, and I believe in their mission. I’ll work with them in all 36 states to sensitize communities and rally support for President Tinubu.”
Emeka reaffirmed his commitment to grassroots mobilization and emphasized the need for nationwide youth awareness around the President’s plans for economic growth and national unity.
With strategic mobilization underway and leadership fully committed, the Forum of Special Advisers and SSAs appears set to play a crucial role in shaping Nigeria’s political future powered by the energy and voice of its youth.
