Chief Ayirimi Emami, a prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has publicly declared his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in the 2027 election. Emami made this statement during a donation event in Delta State, where he handed out gift items worth millions of naira to Ilaje traders and fishermen.
The donation was a gesture of appreciation for the community’s support of President Tinubu’s candidacy during the party primaries and the general elections. Emami’s endorsement is significant, as it indicates that Tinubu’s administration has gained traction and support from key stakeholders within the APC.
As the 2027 election approaches, it will be interesting to see how Tinubu’s administration performs and whether he decides to run for re-election. Tinubu’s presidency began on May 29, 2023, after he won the presidential election with 8,794,726 votes, defeating Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.
