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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Also speaking, the National Convener of SWAGA, Hon. Oyetunde Ojo, said Tinubu\u2019s re-election would provide an opportunity to consolidate the ongoing reforms across various sectors of the economy since 2023.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the group\u2019s leaders, Otunba Yomi Ogunusi, described the gathering as timely, saying the large turnout demonstrated overwhelming support for President Tinubu.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Dr. Nkem Sofola expressed satisfaction with Tinubu\u2019s victory in 2023, expressing confidence that the President would secure another mandate in 2027 through the support of the electorate.<\/p>\n

Hon. Muslim Folami and Kamal Bashua said the gathering was aimed at galvanising grassroots support for Tinubu\u2019s re-election, urging party members to mobilise voters and exercise their franchise wisely with their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The event was held under the theme, \u201cConsolidating Grassroots Mobilisation and Deepening Political Engagements for the Renewed Hope Agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
