Ogun lawmakers back Tinubu’s re-election
Twenty lawmakers in Ogun State reaffirmed their support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign for 2027, along with backing for Senator Solomon Adeola's gubernatorial ambition.
Twenty progressive lawmakers from the Ogun State House of Assembly have publicly expressed their support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign for a second term beginning in May 2027. This endorsement was confirmed during a press briefing held at the Nigeria Union of Journalists secretariat in Abeokuta, where the lawmakers reiterated their commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC) party's agenda. They highlighted President Tinubu's economic policies and leadership as the reasons for their support.
In addition to backing Tinubu, the lawmakers also expressed support for Senator Solomon Adeola, affectionately known as Yayi, in his ambitions for the 2027 governorship race. This demonstrates a united front among members of the APC in Ogun State as they prepare for upcoming electoral contests. Governor Dapo Abiodun's future political plans following his second term were also a subject of discussion, indicating a focus on continuity within the party.
The solidarity shown by these lawmakers reflects broader political dynamics in Ogun State, where the APC aims to consolidate power and influence in the region. Their collective endorsement is likely to play a significant role in rallying support for both Tinubu's re-election and Adeola's governorship bid as they gear up for the electoral battles ahead, signaling a strategic alignment among key political figures in the state.
