2027: Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos drums support for Tinubu’s re-election
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo community in Lagos State is optimistic about President Bola Tinubu’s chances of winning a second term in power before the 2027 general elections.
Chief Sunday Udeh, President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, made the announcement during a reconciliation meeting hosted by Dr Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (also known as Jandor), Lead Visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement.
The gathering, held in Lagos, aimed to promote unity among Yoruba and Igbo citizens in the wake of recent demolitions in the state.
Speaking with the newsmen, Udeh urged both ethnic groups to continue living in peace and mutual respect, warning against sentiments capable of creating divisions.
He described President Tinubu as an experienced leader who understands governance and deserves another term in 2027.
“We are not in doubt of his victory in 2027. We know our party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, will win again,” Udeh said.
The Ohanaeze leader called on the Lagos State Government to continue engaging with the Igbo community and other ethnic groups to ensure inclusiveness and unity.
He noted that relations between Igbos and the Lagos government had become strained after the 2023 elections but assured that renewed dialogue and collaboration would help strengthen mutual trust.
“2027 is close. We know our party will take it. I am a member and will work for the party,” Udeh added.
