SWAGA Targets Southwest Lead in Tinubu’s 2027 Re-election Votes
The National Chairman of the South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA), Senator Dayo Adeyeye, has expressed optimism that the South-West will rank among the regions with the highest number of votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the January 16 presidential election.
He said a strong showing by the region would help secure a decisive victory for Tinubu and other candidates of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
Adeyeye expressed this confidence at the inauguration of the Lagos chapter of the group, tagged Lagos SWAGA 2.0, held at the Blue Roof, Agidingbi, Ikeja.
The Director-General of the PBAT-KOH Campaign Council, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, commended the conveners for sustaining the group, describing the large turnout at the event as encouraging.
He said the impressive crowd offered hope that the campaign could achieve its target of 3.5 million votes for the Tinubu-Hamzat ticket in Lagos State.
Also speaking, the National Convener of SWAGA, Hon. Oyetunde Ojo, said Tinubu’s re-election would provide an opportunity to consolidate the ongoing reforms across various sectors of the economy since 2023.
One of the group’s leaders, Otunba Yomi Ogunusi, described the gathering as timely, saying the large turnout demonstrated overwhelming support for President Tinubu.
He recalled that SWAGA began as a movement before evolving into a formidable political structure, noting that members remained committed to the cause even while the party was in opposition until political power was secured.
Similarly, Dr. Nkem Sofola expressed satisfaction with Tinubu’s victory in 2023, expressing confidence that the President would secure another mandate in 2027 through the support of the electorate.
Hon. Muslim Folami and Kamal Bashua said the gathering was aimed at galvanising grassroots support for Tinubu’s re-election, urging party members to mobilise voters and exercise their franchise wisely with their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
The event was held under the theme, “Consolidating Grassroots Mobilisation and Deepening Political Engagements for the Renewed Hope Agenda.”
SWAGA was established in 2021 to mobilise support for then National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to contest the 2023 presidential election.
