Ahead of the 2027 general elections, former Governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun has reaffirmed his support for President Bola Tinubu, declaring that members of the ruling All Progressives Congress across the country are united behind the President’s second-term ambition.
PUNCH reports that Amosun made the declaration on Saturday during the APC presidential primary exercise held at Ward 6, Itoko, Abeokuta, Ogun State, where party faithful turned out in large numbers to participate in the process.
Speaking with journalists after casting his vote, the former governor described the exercise as a special moment for party members to publicly reaffirm their loyalty to President Tinubu and the APC.
“Well, you know today is very special. Today is for the President and we all must come out to show and demonstrate that yes, we are for the President, we are for APC, and that’s why I am here,” Amosun said.
He explained that party stakeholders had already aligned on supporting the President’s re-election, noting that the exercise was simply a reaffirmation of an existing consensus among party members nationwide.
“You know we have done the one for the governor, so all of us are in sync, we have all taken that position. So, it is just to reaffirm what we have done and that is what happened. Today, all of us in Nigeria, not just this place, every ward in Nigeria is doing this and we have to come here to participate and do our bit too,” he added.
Amosun also commended party supporters for what he described as their peaceful conduct and enthusiastic participation, saying the turnout reflected growing acceptance of the President among Nigerians.
