Prince Is Coming Movement Endorses Otu, Tinubu Ahead of 2027
By Benjamin GBOR
The Prince Is Coming movement on Saturday endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Cross River State Governor, Senator Bassey Otu, for a second term ahead of the 2027 general election.
The endorsement was made during a massive rally at the Ikom Township Stadium, which drew an estimated 1.5 million supporters, alongside party leaders, National Assembly members, political appointees, and stakeholders from across the 18 local government areas of the state.
The Chief of Staff to the Governor and leader of the movement, Chief Emmanuel Ironbar, said the renewed push under the “Prince is Coming Again” theme reflects the movement’s resilience despite past political setbacks. He called for intensified door-to-door campaigns and deeper grassroots mobilisation ahead of the May 18, 2026 primaries and the 2027 general election, urging supporters to remain focused and embrace peaceful, issue-based politics while rejecting misinformation, slander, and divisive rhetoric.
Senator William Eteng Jonas, representing Cross River Central Senatorial District, who moved the motion for the endorsement, commended the group for leading the re-election drive. He said both Tinubu and Otu have performed creditably, particularly in economic management and infrastructure renewal, and pledged to mobilise support across his senatorial district to ensure victory in 2027.
Also speaking, Amb. Soni Abang, Cross River State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, said Nigeria is on a recovery path under President Tinubu despite global economic challenges. He attributed recent fuel price increases to international factors and projected that prices would stabilise below ₦500 per litre, with a corresponding drop in food costs.
Abang further highlighted ongoing infrastructure projects across the state’s 18 local government areas, improved aviation connectivity, and efforts to recover state assets and reduce public debt.
