2027 Presidency: APC Govs, Chieftains Back Tinubu For Re-election

Several prominent figures from the All Progressives Congress (APC) have expressed their support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election and the success of all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.

Naija News understands that some of the APC chieftains include former National Chairman Chief Bisi Akande, former Ogun State Governor Aremo Olusegun Osoba, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and governors from Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti States—Dapo Abiodun, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and Biodun Oyebanji expressed their support for President Tinubu’s re-election and the success of all APC candidates in the 2027 elections.

However, President Tinubuhas stated that his primary focus is not on the forthcoming 2027 general elections.

The number one citizen said he is instead focused on revitalizing the economy to enhance the welfare of the Nigerian populace.

Naija News reports that Tinubu made these remarks during the 2024 South West Assembly of the All Progressives Congress (APC), which took place on Saturday at Victoria Island under the auspices of the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who serves as the Zonal Coordinator of the APC.

The assembly drew a significant turnout of party leaders and stakeholders from the southwest, including senators, members of the House of Representatives, State House of Assembly members, local government officials, and senior party representatives.

The gathering marked the first assembly since Tinubu’s presidential victory in 2023, where former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi delivered the keynote address, commending the President as a “listening leader” with a resolute commitment to achieving success.

In a message conveyed by his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, Tinubu called on Nigerians to exercise patience with his administration, which is dedicated to fostering genuine progress for the people. The assembly also focused on other significant matters related to the party’s ongoing development, particularly within the South-West Zone.
