A faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kogi State on Saturday declared full support for the re-election bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
9news Nigeria reports that the endorsement came during an expanded stakeholders’ meeting convened by the factional leader, Rep. Leke Joseph Abejide.
In a motion that received thunderous applause, Abejide urged party members to “stand firmly with President Tinubu,” recalling the faction’s unanimous backing of the APC candidate in 2023.
The stakeholders again adopted Tinubu as their preferred choice for 2027, with speakers pledging to deliver their polling units for both the president and Abejide.
The endorsement set the tone for a tense but decisive meeting where the faction ratified new state executives to steer the ADC’s affairs in Kogi.
The meeting drew representatives from all nine federal constituencies and was convened to fill vacancies arising from resignations, deaths and alleged dereliction of duty by former officials.
Led by Abejide, who represents Yagba Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives and serves on the ADC National Executive Committee, the gathering marked a significant attempt to reclaim the party’s structure amid an ongoing battle between rival factions.
