DLA Candidates Endorse Tinubu for 2027 Presidential Bid
A forum of governorship candidates from the Democratic Leadership Alliance (DLA) has endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term in the 2027 presidential election. The announcement was made by the forum, led by Hon. Aboki Bayonga, the DLA’s Taraba State governorship candidate, during a press conference in Abuja.
The candidates pledged to utilize their grassroots political networks to support Tinubu's re-election and will collaborate with Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) for this purpose. Notable attendees included Alhaji Adamu Idrisu Chado (Kaduna), Hon. Bekky Folorunso James (Osun), and others.
However, the candidates clarified that they would not defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and would continue to pursue their political ambitions within the DLA for various elective positions. Bayonga stated that the decision to support Tinubu was made after consultations among party members, emphasizing that the DLA would not field a presidential candidate in 2027.
