Kayode Ojo, the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman, Governing Council of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) and an All Progressives Congress (APC) leader in Ekiti State, has called on South-West governors to organise a joint rally for the endorsement of President Bola Tinubu as the sole APC presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections.
In a statement, Ojo said yesterday that the South-West endorsement rally was long overdue, considering the good performance and wide acceptance of Tinubu across the country. The Ekiti politician stated that it had become a necessity for all progressive-minded people across the South-West geo-political zone of the country to embrace and support Tinubu, not merely with occasional statements, but with a massive endorsement rally to demonstrate to the world that the President’s support base remains intact.
Ojo said: “All the governors in the region, irrespective of political inclinations, should, without further delay, organise a joint endorsement rally for Tinubu. It has become a necessity, a must and sine qua non for all progressive-minded people across the South-West geo-political zone of the country to embrace and support Tinubu.”The move will encourage the President to intensify actions on the country’s development and promote the country’s economic growth. However, it will also serve as a sign of unity of purpose for the region’s development, especially with the establishment of the South-West Development Commission under the leadership of Senator Olubunmi Adetumbi. The region would fast-track development through robust support for the President ahead of the 2027 general elections.”
The UNN’s Pro-Chancellor, while commending the President on the establishment of the South West Development Commission, called on the people of the region, irrespective of political or religious inclinations, to see the Commission as an opportunity to bring about more development in the region. Hence, more support and prayers are needed for the President to succeed. He also claimed that the recent coalition of some politicians, under the banner of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), would not be a threat to President Tinubu’s second-term ambition.
