2027: Village Boys Movement Plans Massive 2-Million-Man March for ADC
A political support group, the Village Boys Movement (VBM), has unveiled plans to stage a two-million-man march in support of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The group said the march is part of a wider mobilisation strategy aimed at boosting the party’s national presence.
The announcement was made in a statement released on Friday by the group’s leader, Maazi Tochukwu Ezeoke, who is addressed as the “Headmaster” of the movement.
He explained that the march would be carried out in phases across different parts of the country.
According to him, the first phase of the exercise is scheduled for March 28, 2026. It will take place simultaneously in several states, including Abia, Adamawa, Anambra, Bayelsa, Ebonyi, Plateau, Jigawa, Kaduna, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Enugu, Kogi and Edo.
He added that the second phase would extend the mobilisation to major political and commercial centres such as Lagos, Abuja, Rivers, Delta, Kano and Imo, along with other locations. Specific dates for this phase are yet to be announced.
The VBM is widely seen as a response to the City Boys Movement, a political group linked to supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and reportedly backed by his son, Seyi Tinubu.
The Village Boys Movement, however, says its focus is on grassroots engagement and national political reawakening.
In the statement, the group stressed that Nigerians are becoming more politically conscious and are ready to demand better leadership. It warned that the demand for accountability and good governance can no longer be ignored.
The statement read that “credible leadership in Nigeria is no longer negotiable,” adding that citizens across the country are now more organised and determined to shape the nation’s democratic direction.
VBM also weighed in on the ongoing national debate around power rotation and equity. It noted that several political actors and groups, including major parties and regional blocs, have continued to push for a Southern presidency.
While not naming a specific candidate, the movement urged the ADC to take a clear stand on issues of justice, fairness and national development as political alignments begin to take shape ahead of 2027.
