2027: Kogi youths donate ₦100m to back Tinubu’s re-election bid

Governor Usman Ododo on Monday led a group of young people from Kogi State to present ₦100 million to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The money is meant to pay for the Nomination and Expression of Interest forms for Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The cheque was received by the National Chairman of the APC, Nentawe Yilwatda. While accepting it, he advised other groups or individuals who are planning to pay for President Tinubu’s re-election forms to reconsider their decision.

He said the Kogi youths are the second group to show interest in buying the President’s nomination forms. However, he added that the first group has not yet made any payment.

Yilwatda praised the young people from Kogi State for taking the initiative. He said they were not asking what the government could do for them, but were instead showing support for the President.

Governor Ododo also said that no government in Nigeria’s history has given young people as many opportunities as the current administration under President Tinubu.
