In Ogun State, hunters and non-Indigenes have pledged their support for President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 general election. The Ilupeju Egba Hunters Association, based in Abeokuta, along with the Association of Non-Indigenes in Ogun State, made their positions clear during meetings with Chief Segun Sowunmi, the convener of the Pan Nigerian movement.

The hunters assured Sowunmi that they had confidence in Tinubu's ability to build upon the achievements of the current administration. Similarly, non-Indigenes, representing various tribes such as Igbo, Igede, Tiv, and Igala, expressed their support for Tinubu, urging Sowunmi to continue advocating for their interests. Sowunmi emphasized that the 2027 election presents an opportunity to rotate political power to the South and regards the residents of Ogun State as part of a broader "Ogun tribe," which includes anyone who lives, works, and contributes to the state.

In Kwara State, the 52-Youth Coalition has also pledged its support for Tinubu's re-election. The coalition, comprising young professionals from various wards in Kwara Central, believes that Tinubu remains the only viable option for the upcoming election and that he deserves the time to consolidate the reforms his administration has begun.

The 52-Youth Coalition supports Tinubu while acknowledging the need for accountability, security, economic opportunities, and democratic participation at the state level. They emphasize that voters can choose different political parties for different offices and call on Kwarans to support Tinubu for the presidential election and the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party in the governorship and National Assembly elections.
