The Village Boys Movement (VBM) has announced plans to mobilise supporters across Nigeria in a major political campaign tagged the “2 Million Man March and ADC Registration Drive” in support of Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a press statement issued after a strategic meeting of its National Council and State Contact Persons, VBM outlined a phased nationwide mobilisation aimed at strengthening grassroots participation and building political structures within the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
According to the statement, the first phase of the march is scheduled for March 28, 2026, and will take place simultaneously across multiple states including Abia, Adamawa, Anambra, Bayelsa, Ebonyi, Plateau, Jigawa, Kaduna, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Enugu, Kogi, and Edo.
The second phase, which will cover key political hubs such as Lagos, Abuja, Rivers, Delta, Kano, and Imo States, is expected to follow at later dates yet to be announced.
VBM described the initiative as both a demonstration of democratic demand and a strategic grassroots activation effort. The VBM noted that the campaign is designed not only to push for Obi’s emergence as ADC’s presidential candidate through consensus but also to drive mass registration into the party to build a “formidable and verifiable political structure nationwide.”
The movement emphasised that the phased rollout is intended to sustain momentum, enhance coordination, and ensure continuous engagement across the country, stressing that the mobilisation is “not a one-day event” but a long-term political strategy.
The VBM further argued that growing calls for a Southern presidency—echoed by major political parties and regional blocs—underscore the urgency of its demand. It urged the ADC leadership to align with what it described as the will of the people by granting Obi the party’s presidential ticket.
Reaffirming its commitment, VBM stated that it would continue mobilising Nigerians across rural and urban communities in pursuit of what it termed a decisive political shift in 2027, adding that “the era of recycled governance must come to an end.”
The statement was signed by the Village Headmaster, Maazi Tochukwu Ezeoke, who described the planned march as the beginning of a “coordinated national awakening.”
