Ohanaeze Ndigbo community in Lagos State has announced its support for the second term of President Bola Tinubu.
The Lagos president of the group, Sunday Udeh, described Tinubu as an experienced leader who understands governance and deserves another term in 2027.
He made the declaration during a reconciliation parley convened by Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (popularly known as Jandor), Lead Visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement.
The meeting, held in Lagos, focused on fostering harmony between Yoruba and Igbo residents following 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.
“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.
Also speaking, National President of the Market Leaders Association of Nigeria (TMLAN), Charles Obih, pledged the support of the Igbo business community for President Tinubu’s re-election bid.
“We will mobilize our members to ensure President Tinubu’s re-election is smooth and successful by the grace of God,” Obih stated.
He praised the President’s leadership, describing him as a capable and pragmatic leader who inherited difficult national challenges but has continued to address them with determination.
