The Village Boys Movement (VBM) has intensified its push for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to hand over its presidential ticket to Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The group held what it described as a “2 Million Man March and ADC Registration Drive” over the weekend, with events taking place simultaneously across several states, including Abia, Adamawa, Anambra, Kaduna, Ogun, Oyo, and Edo.
Organisers said the turnout reflected growing grassroots support and a rising demand for political change across the country.
Speaking after the event, the group’s leader, Tochukwu Ezeoke, explained that the campaign was not just about showing support for Obi but also aimed at increasing membership of the ADC nationwide.
According to him, the movement is part of a broader plan to build a strong and organised political structure capable of influencing the outcome of future elections.
“This is more than just a march,” Ezeoke said. “It’s a deliberate effort to turn public support into a well-structured political force.”
He added that the phased nature of the campaign is designed to keep the momentum going and maintain engagement across different regions in the coming weeks.
The group noted that Nigerians are increasingly demanding credible leadership and are more willing to play an active role in shaping the country’s political future.
VBM also pointed to ongoing political discussions and realignments involving major parties such as the PDP, APC, and Labour Party, as well as regional groups like the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum.
According to the movement, support for a Southern presidency is gaining ground within these circles.
The group, therefore, called on the ADC to respect what it described as the will of the people by giving its presidential ticket to Obi without delay.
Reaffirming its long-term goal, VBM said it would continue mobilising citizens across both rural and urban areas to drive what it called a decisive political shift in 2027.
It added that the recent march signals the beginning of a wider national movement, stressing that the era of “recycled leadership” should come to an end.
