Music executive Ubi Franklin has openly backed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a post shared on his X platform, Franklin stated that every Nigerian has the constitutional right to support candidates of their choice, adding that he has decided to stand with Tinubu.
Beyond the presidential race, he also declared support for several political figures in Cross River State, including Bassey Otu, Benedict Ayade, Asuquo Ekpenyong, and Eteng Jones Williams.
“Dear friends, it’s your constitutional right to support whoever you choose. I’m supporting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for President and Senator Prince Bassey Otu for Governor of Cross River State.
“Senator Prof Benedict Ayade for Cross River Northern Senatorial District. Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong for Cross River southern senatorial district. Senator Eteng jones Williams,” he wrote.
Franklin’s endorsement comes as he aligns with the City Boy Movement, a political campaign initiative associated with Seyi Tinubu, aimed at mobilising support for Tinubu ahead of the next election cycle.
The movement is focused on strengthening grassroots backing and promoting the president’s vision as preparations gradually build towards the 2027 polls.
