“You Get Food for House? No, You Get Light for House? No. Hunger De”: Port Harcourt Youths Mobilise Against APC Ahead of 2027, Urge Residents Not to Vote APC
A viral video has captured some youths in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, taking to the streets to sensitise residents against voting for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
In the 45-second video sighted on X, the youths expressed their dissatisfaction with the administration of President Bola Tinubu, accusing the government of worsening economic hardship and failing to adequately address the challenges confronting Nigerians.
The youths alleged that the current administration had imposed severe economic difficulties on citizens through what they described as bad governance, while calling on residents to vote against the APC in the 2027 elections.
“You get food for house? No, you get light for house? No. Hunger de. Tinubu brought hunger through bad government,” the youths chanted.
Their street mobilisation comes amid increasing political activities and alignments ahead of the 2027 general elections, with Rivers State emerging as one of the states where competing political forces are already seeking to consolidate their support bases.
Meanwhile, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that there would be no opposition in Rivers State in 2027.
Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, has also stated that eligible voters in the state were united in the plan to re-elect President Tinubu.
The development highlights the contrasting political positions emerging in Rivers State, as supporters of the Tinubu administration seek to consolidate their political structure while opposition voices continue to criticise the Federal Government over economic conditions.
The rainbow coalition formed by the former governor comprises members from different political parties who have come together to support Wike’s preferred candidates.
With political mobilisation gradually intensifying ahead of 2027, the competing positions suggest that Rivers State could witness a closely watched political contest, with voters’ sentiments over the economy, governance and leadership likely to feature prominently in the debate.
