Exercise patience, vote for liberation – Showunmi tells non-indigenes, hunters

Segun Showunmi, a prominent figure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Ogun State, has called upon non-indigenes and hunters in the region to exercise patience and vote for liberation in the upcoming 2027 presidential election. Speaking during a recent meeting in Abeokuta, Showunmi emphasized that the 2027 election should be viewed as a fight for liberation where every vote should go to President Bola Tinubu.

The PDP chieftain addressed various non-indigene associations and hunter groups from diverse communities, including Igbo, Igede, Tiv, Calabar, and Edo people. He reminded them that their patience and political maturity would be instrumental in paving the way for an Igbo presidency in the future. Showunmi argued that while the Igbos have been treated fairly, the presidency remains their ultimate goal.

Showunmi urged the South-West, South-South, South-East, and North-Central regions to give Tinubu overwhelming votes in the 2027 election. He stressed that this would send a powerful message that no region holds more importance than the others. According to Showunmi, the election should serve as a strong statement that every person in the country is of equal significance.

Describing non-indigenes as the "Ogun Tribe," Showunmi promised to support them whenever they face mistreatment. He urged them to mobilize extensively across Ogun Central, Ogun East, and Ogun West, rallying behind Tinubu by delivering bloc votes. Showunmi emphasized that while winning the election is crucial, the margin of victory should be significant enough to demonstrate the political strength of the South-West and prove that regional zoning must be respected by all parties involved.
