President Bola Tinubu has stated that his main focus is dedicated to restructuring the economy for the benefit of the Nigerian people and not on the 2027 general elections.
The President spoke at the 2024 South West Assembly of the APC held at Victoria Island, hosted by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, who serves as the Zonal Coordinator of the APC on Saturday.
He was represented at the event by his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.
This president’s statement comes as several prominent figures from the All Progressives Congress (APC), including governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun) Biodun Oyebanji (Ekiti), and Lucky Aiyedatiwa (Ondo) expressed their support for Tinubu’s re-election and the success of all APC candidates in the 2027 elections.
Others are former National Chairman Chief Bisi Akande, and former Ogun State governor, Aremo Olusegun Osoba.
The event attracted a large audience of party leaders and stakeholders from the South-West, including senators, members of the House of Representatives, State House of Assembly members, local government officials, and top party chieftains.
At the assembly, which was the first following Tinubu’s 2023 presidential victory, former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi delivered the keynote address, praising the President as a “listening leader” with a strong determination to succeed.
Tinubu, represented by Femi Gbajabiamila, appealed to Nigerians to be patient with his administration, saying the government is committed to the genuine progress of the populace.
The meeting also addressed other key issues concerning the party’s continued development, particularly in the South-West Zone.
