Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-West have declared their support for President Bola Tinubu’s reelection in 2027, describing him as the “father of the nation.”
National Vice Chairman (South-West), Hon. Kamorudeen Ajisafe, made the announcement while presenting the party’s flag to Bolarinwa Oduwole, PDP’s candidate for the upcoming Remo federal constituency bye-election. Ajisafe said it was only fair for the region to back Tinubu, having supported Buhari for eight years.
“This goes beyond party lines. It’s natural to support one of our own,” he stated.
PDP’s 2023 Ogun governorship candidate, Hon. Ladi Adebutu, echoed the sentiment but stressed the need for credible polls. “We support the president but insist on free and fair elections in Ogun,” he said.
State chairman Hon. Abayomi Tella inaugurated a 55-man campaign council and urged supporters to defend their votes and resist intimidation during the August 16 bye-election.
