Babatunde Raji Fashola, former governor of Lagos and Southwest regional coordinator of the APC presidential campaign council for 2027, is due to bring together traditional rulers and community leaders from the six states of southwestern Nigeria at Oduduwa House on 19 November to mobilise their support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The forum is expected to result in a declaration of support for Tinubu and the presentation of a programme aimed at mobilising millions of votes for APC candidates, according to the organisers.
The gathering is expected to include Obas, chiefs and Baales, with the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, expected to attend as the invited royal authority. The chairman of the organising committee, Seyi Bamigbade, cited infrastructure projects, including the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway, economic reforms and federal support for regional security among the actions of the Tinubu government that, he said, are strengthening its support in the Southwest.
The meeting will also focus on national development, security, education and food security. Seyi Bamigbade called on Southwest governors to support traditional rulers in organising this mobilisation in favour of Tinubu and other APC candidates.
