Saturday saw increased backing for Nigeria's 2027 election campaign, with former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar's son pledging 10 buses for President Bola Tinubu's re-election efforts. Governor Ademola Adeleke and former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola joined hands in Osun State to inaugurate 30 campaign vehicles donated by businessman Tompolo, Government Ekpemupolo. Meanwhile, businessman Wale Tinubu accompanied President Tinubu to perform the lesser Hajj in Saudi Arabia.
However, activist Omoyele Sowore was barred from participating in the Ikogosi Marathon due to security concerns. The 2027 general elections, scheduled by INEC Chairman Joash Amupitan, will proceed as planned.
