Idimogu Calls for Support of Tinubu Over Atiku and Obi
Hon. Jude Idimogu, a former Lagos lawmaker, called on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and National Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Peter Obi to abandon their 2027 presidential ambitions and support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term. Speaking to journalists on October 1, 2026, during Nigeria’s 66th Independence anniversary, Idimogu emphasized that four years would not suffice for Tinubu to fulfill his reform agenda.
He described Tinubu as a patriotic leader needing the support and prayers of Nigerians. Idimogu argued for respect for the zoning arrangement, suggesting that the North should wait until 2031 for the presidency, allowing the South to complete its tenure.
He appealed to Atiku, referencing their friendship, and urged Obi to support Tinubu to maintain southern unity. Idimogu expressed confidence in Tinubu's re-election in 2027, asserting that the APC would prevail despite challenges.
