A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Get together (PDP), Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has mentioned the South West won’t help President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 if his authorities continues on its current course.
Olawepo-Hashim argued that the area can’t be anticipated to reward what he described as “failure in governance” with one other mandate.
Talking by means of the South West Coordinator of the Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Motion (GHSM), Alhaji Abass Olaniyi, in Ilorin, he mentioned: “The South West won’t again President Tinubu in 2027 if his administration doesn’t change route. Our folks can’t be requested to reward failure with one other time period.”
Olaniyi was reacting to a current enchantment by political commentator Reno Omokri, who urged each the North and South West to rally behind Tinubu for a second time period.
Omokri had in contrast his name to the North’s help for former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 regardless of criticism of his efficiency, insisting that Tinubu has recorded some achievements in GDP progress and infrastructure.
However Olaniyi dismissed Omokri’s place as political manipulation.
“Calls like that ignore the realities Nigerians are going through in the present day. They’re taking part in on regional sentiments as an alternative of addressing competence and outcomes,” he mentioned.
He added that Nigerians, particularly within the South West, will resolve primarily based on efficiency and never sentiments in 2027.
