A youth group within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River State has declared support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid and the political leadership of Governor Bassey Otu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The group said its position reflected its confidence in the party’s leadership and its desire to sustain the current political direction at both federal and state levels.
The declaration comes as political activities gradually intensify across the country, with party stakeholders and interest groups beginning to express their preferences ahead of the next electoral cycle.
Youths Rally Behind APC Leadership
The APC youth group maintained that continued support for Tinubu and Otu would help strengthen the party’s political structure and promote continuity in governance.
Members also emphasised the importance of youth participation in political mobilisation, describing young people as an important constituency in determining the direction of future elections.
The group’s endorsement adds to the growing political engagements within the APC as stakeholders begin organising and consolidating support ahead of 2027.
Cross River Political Landscape
Governor Otu, who leads the APC administration in Cross River State, remains a central figure in the party’s state structure.
The youth group’s declaration of support for both the governor and the President highlights the relationship between state-level political mobilisation and the APC’s broader electoral strategy.
However, the endorsement represents the position of the group and does not, on its own, establish the views of all APC members or young people across Cross River State.
As preparations for the 2027 elections develop, further political alignments and declarations are expected from parties, supporters and interest groups across the country.
