South West backs Tinubu, Ambode for 2027 elections

By Lukman Olabiyi

Political stakeholders from the South West region have declared their full support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in the 2027 general elections, saying they will use their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to consolidate his achievements and sustain progressive governance in Nigeria.

The stakeholders in Lagos during a PVC sensitisation campaign exercise organised by the Tinubu-Ambo Support Group, a coalition of loyalists committed to mobilising grassroots support for both President Tinubu and former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.

Speaking at the event, the director-general of the Tinubu-Ambo Support Group, Dr. Seyi Bamigbade, said the sensitisation exercise was aimed at awakening political consciousness among citizens and ensuring that eligible voters across the South West obtain their PVCs ahead of the 2027 polls.

According to him, the group’s mission is to strengthen democratic participation while reaffirming loyalty to the ideals of President Tinubu, whom he described as “the architect of modern Lagos and the builder of Nigeria’s renewed hope agenda.”

“Our PVCs are for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027,” Bamigbade declared, adding that “we are standing firmly behind the president to complete the transformational journey he has started. At the same time, we are backing the return of Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode as Governor of Lagos State, because his vision and achievements remain unmatched in delivering people-oriented governance.”

He emphasised that Ambode’s return to the Lagos political scene would further consolidate the development blueprint laid by Tinubu and sustained by successive administrations, adding that the combination of both leaders’ experience and commitment will ensure prosperity for Lagos and the entire South West region.

Participants at the sensitisation exercise, including youth groups, market leaders, and community influencers, echoed the call for renewed civic engagement and pledged to mobilise residents to collect their PVCs as a civic responsibility.

The Tinubu-Ambo Support Group also announced plans to replicate the campaign across all South West states, with particular emphasis on rural areas where voter apathy and registration challenges remain prevalent.

Bamigbade urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to intensify efforts in simplifying the voter registration process and ensuring wide accessibility of PVC collection centres.

He concluded by saying, “2027 is not far away. The time to act is now. Every vote will count, and every PVC must speak for Tinubu, for Ambode, and for the progress of our dear nation.”
