He was speaking on Sunday at a youth mobilisation event organised by the Action Grassroots Alliance, titled "Youth Mobilisation to Victory for PBAT and KOH 2027", and represented by the deputy director-general of the APC campaign council in Lagos State, Rasaq Olusola.
Hamzat asked first-time voters to collect their cards before the elections and to encourage their relatives to vote for the APC, which he presented as the only party capable of addressing Nigerians' problems. The alliance's director-general, Salewa Adegbenro, said the group was aiming for five million votes from Lagos youths for President Bola Tinubu and for Hamzat, through door-to-door mobilisation.
The candidate's call adds to vote pledges already announced in the country, including the three million votes promised to Tinubu by Fubara and the support of young people in central Nigeria for his re-election.
