2027: Fatai Buhari rallies supporters for Tinubu, Alli, other APC candidates

By Adejayan Gbenga

A three-term senator representing Oyo North Senatorial District, AbdulFatai Buhari, has directed his supporters to mobilise votes for President Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Oyo State, Sharafadeen Alli, and other party candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Buhari gave the directive on Friday during a meeting with his supporters at his residence in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, where he urged them to intensify their political activities towards securing victory for the APC.

The meeting was attended by the party’s deputy governorship candidate, Adesoji Michael Adedeji, and a prominent member of the Buhari political family, Dauda Wasiu.

Addressing the supporters, the senator specifically urged them to work for Tinubu’s re-election and Alli’s emergence as the next governor of Oyo State.

He also charged them to extend their mobilisation efforts to other APC candidates contesting various elective positions, stressing the need for unity and coordinated efforts among party members ahead of the elections.

The meeting came weeks after Buhari’s reported engagement with President Tinubu in Abuja, where the president was said to have urged him to support his re-election bid, Alli’s governorship ambition and other APC candidates in the state.

Friday’s gathering is part of the political activities within the APC in Oyo State as party leaders and stakeholders intensify preparations for the 2027 general elections.

Buhari, who has represented Oyo North in the Senate for three consecutive terms, is expected to play a significant role in the APC’s mobilisation efforts across the district as the party seeks to strengthen its electoral prospects.
