Funmilayo Ogun Backs Tinubu's 2027 Re-election Bid

Funmilayo Ogun, the former secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State, has publicly endorsed President Bola Tinubu's re-election campaign for the 2027 general election following her recent defection to the All Progressives Congress. In a statement issued in Ado Ekiti, Ogun expressed her commitment to strengthening Tinubu's support base and aiding Governor Biodun Oyebanji's agenda for the state.

She emphasized that the APC is the best platform for advancing her political career and intends to initiate aggressive campaigns across all wards in Ido/Osi Local Government Area with the cooperation of other party leaders. Ogun, who has over 16 years of experience in the private sector and previously served as the commissioner for works under former Governor Ayodele Fayose, acknowledged the contributions of past governors Niyi Adebayo, Segun Oni, and Fayose.

Adewumi Aina, the APC chairman in Ido/Osi, welcomed Ogun and her supporters, assuring them of equal rights within the party.
