2027: ‘I threatened Tinubu with 2 million votes from Ogun’ – Gov Dapo Abiodun

Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State declared on Thursday that he had threatened President Bola Tinubu in preparation for the upcoming 2027 presidential election. During a public address in Abeokuta, the state capital, Abiodun announced his intention to deliver a minimum of two million votes from Ogun State to Tinubu.

The announcement came as the Ogun State Transport Unions Alliance endorsed Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, known as Yayi, as the gubernatorial candidate. Abiodun confidently stated that Tinubu would undoubtedly win the state, asserting that his victory was assured.

Addressing the room, Abiodun praised Tinubu, saying, "I have threatened Mr President, how did I threaten him? I said Mr President, on behalf of all the sons and daughters of Ogun State, we will give you a minimum of two million votes." He went on to explain that the collective strength of the supporters present, numbering around 10,000 with varying family sizes, would translate to approximately 50,000 votes.

Abiodun concluded by urging the attendees to join him in thanking their President, Bola Tinubu, and to come out en masse to vote for him on January 16.
