Dr. Samuel Ajose, a Lagos State governorship aspirant, recently promised to mobilize at least 10 million votes for President Bola Tinubu during a rally named "SMA Gold Mobilisation for Asiwaju" held at the Nigeria Police College in Ikeja. The event attracted around 24,750 residents from various local government areas, indicating significant grassroots support. Ajose emphasized the importance of ensuring a successful second term for Tinubu by engaging in extensive consultations and mobilization efforts across Lagos and the South-West geopolitical zone.

During his speech, Ajose highlighted the need to avoid a repeat of the 2023 elections' struggles, which saw the All Progressives Congress (APC) facing unexpected challenges. His SMA movement aims to galvanize support among Lagos residents through door-to-door campaigns and strategic outreach to solidify Tinubu's position within the state. The rally also served as a platform for rallying local sentiment around the APC and reinforcing communal resolutions to increase voter turnout.

The implications of Ajose's declaration extend beyond this rally, as it signals a strong push within the APC to reclaim and solidify voter commitment ahead of the 2027 elections. By rallying significant support early on, Ajose and his movement are seeking to create a robust political atmosphere in Lagos that favors the APC, thereby impacting the broader electoral landscape of Nigeria in the upcoming elections.
