Oriyomi Hamzat, the Accord Party governorship candidate in Oyo State, has declared his support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections, saying he cannot work against the president because the party has already chosen him as its presidential candidate.
Hamzat reportedly made the declaration while receiving former Senate Leader and former Oyo governorship candidate, Teslim Folarin, at his office in Ibadan.
Folarin had visited to seek Hamzat’s support, alongside that of other Accord Party members in the state, for Tinubu’s re-election campaign.
Responding, Hamzat reportedly assured Folarin of his support for the president, adding that he and his followers were ready to work towards Tinubu’s victory in 2027.
However, he stressed that the president’s administration should prioritise the welfare of Nigerians and ensure that governance addresses the needs of ordinary citizens.
Hamzat also called for greater respect for traditional rulers, elders and other important stakeholders in society.
He further suggested that the support being offered to Tinubu should be reciprocated by extending similar cooperation to Accord Party candidates contesting elective positions in Oyo State.
Folarin, in his remarks, appealed to Hamzat to mobilise his supporters for Tinubu, acknowledging his grassroots influence and political support base in the state.
The development comes as political parties and their candidates continue to position themselves ahead of the 2027 general elections.
