In a bold political move, businessman and Pan-African advocate, Chief Anthony Tosan Prest, has announced an initiative to mobilise 44 million “Revolutionary Volunteers” in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Speaking at a Pan-African exhibition at Silverbird Galleria, Abuja, yesterday, Chief Prest, who also serves as the National Chairman/Coordinator for Ijaw, Urhobo, Isoko, and Itsekiri 4 Tinubu, said the initiative marks the beginning of a “New Era” aimed at empowering Nigerians economically and fostering national unity.
Dubbed the “Bloodless Revolution,” the movement seeks to harness ethnic coalitions to rally behind President Tinubu’s vision for a prosperous Nigeria.
“For the first time in our history, we have a leader who truly understands the system. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not just a Nigerian leader; he is an African warrior, a strategist, a visionary!” Prest declared.

Highlighting Tinubu’s governance credentials, Chief Prest emphasised the president’s transformative policies, particularly the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and local government financial autonomy.
“Our local government councils that used to receive N20 million monthly are now getting billions! Money that once disappeared is now reaching our people,” he stated.
He underscored the coalition’s mission to promote national pride, self-determination, and socio-economic development, while challenging long-held narratives about Africa’s economic standing.
“Nigeria is not a poor nation. That is a lie told to keep us in chains. We are sitting on a mountain of gold, a ball of gold, three times the size of the reserves of South Africa and Ghana combined,” he said.
Reaffirming his commitment to Pan-Africanism, Chief Prest urged Nigerians to unite in support of President Tinubu’s leadership, calling it a turning point in the nation’s history.
“Join us as we launch our support groups, uniting Nigerians from diverse backgrounds in support of our President’s ‘Bloodless Revolution’ for a greater Nigeria,” he said.
