2027: Southwest Should Rally Support For Tinubu – DDG, Adeogun
As political activities for the 2027 elections continue to gather momentum, the Deputy Director-General, APC Support Group Council, Hon. Dr. Adewale Adeogun has called on the people of Southwest Nigeria to unite behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to complete the zone turn before power rotates back to the North in 2031.
Adeogun made this call during his visit to the Chairman of the APC in Ekiti State, Hon. Sola Eleain and and secretary to the state government, Prof Habibat Adubiaro at the governors office.
He urged the people of the South to collaborate with the other regions to ensure Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
According to Adeogun, equity and fairness demand that the South be allowed to serve its full eight years, just as the North did under former President Muhammadu Buhari.
He expressed concern that the South has often failed to maintain a united front during elections, unlike the North.
“I had once raised the alarm that some of us in the South are allowing ourselves to be manipulated to work against our own interest. It is time we see through this and form a common front,”
He urged Southerners to rally behind Tinubu as the surest path to ensuring power rotation returns to the North in 2031.
“This is not about Tinubu or tribalism. It is about the rotation of the presidency between the North and South. The North has done eight years. The South, under Tinubu, should also do eight years,” he stressed.
Adeogun further commended President Tinubu’s administration for initiatives such as the student loan scheme, increased revenue allocations to states, and reforms in the foreign exchange market, noting that these achievements would strengthen his re-election
He urged Southerners to avoid internal divisions and instead work as a united bloc, warning against what he described as attempts by some politicians to disrupt the power rotation arrangement.
