These comments come as political activity ramps up ahead of the 2027 elections, particularly with strong online support for Peter Obi following the 2023 election.
In that election, Obi from the Labour Party achieved significant online visibility, especially among younger urban voters, yet Tinubu of the APC won the presidency with support from a wider range of states.
The governor also praised Tinubu’s performance, claiming the president has provided more substantial backing to state governments.
