The Village Boys Movement, VBM, has announced a two-million-man march to draw support for the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
We reported that VBM is an initiative of supporters of the ADC to counter the City Boys Movement, an organization initiated by President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, for his father’s re-election bid.
A statement issued on Friday by the Village Boys Headmaster, Maazi Tochukwu Ezeoke, said the two-million-man march would be executed through a phased approach, with phase one scheduled for March 28, 2026.
Phase one is expected to take place in Abia, Adamawa, Anambra, Bayelsa, Ebonyi, Plateau, Jigawa, Kaduna, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Enugu, Kogi, and Edo.
Phase two will “cover key states and regions, including Lagos, Abuja, Rivers, Delta, Kano, Imo, and others, with dates to be announced in due course.”
The movement also warned that the demand for “credible leadership in Nigeria is no longer negotiable”, stating that the “Nigerian people are mobilised, organised, and determined to take ownership of their democratic future.”
“At a time when various political parties and blocs, including the PDP, APC, Labour Party, and the Southern and Middle Belt Forum, are echoing the call for a Southern Presidency, the Village Boys Movement maintains that the ADC must stand firmly on the side of justice, equity, and national progress by taking the right decision at this critical moment,” the statement added.
