Market leaders and traders in Lagos State have organized a special prayer session for President Bola Tinubu and APC gubernatorial candidate Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, seeking their success in the 2027 general elections. The event, led by the Lagos State Market Advisory Council, highlights growing support for Tinubu’s political platform among local business communities.
The prayer session comes amid rising expectations for Tinubu’s re-election bid, with traders expressing confidence in his leadership and the APC’s governance model. The event also underscores the role of local stakeholders in shaping political outcomes. Several APC governors have publicly praised Tinubu’s administration, citing landmark achievements that have silenced critics.
Tinubu’s policies, including his stance on fuel subsidies and economic reforms, continue to influence political discourse. During a recent campaign rally in Jigawa State, he denied claims that fuel subsidies would be reintroduced, reinforcing his position on economic stability. Meanwhile, some opposition figures have criticized the APC’s manifesto, alleging recycled promises and policy plagiarism.
The 2027 elections represent a critical juncture for Tinubu’s political career. His performance in Lagos, a key economic hub, is seen as a barometer for his national re-election prospects. As the campaign season intensifies, the support of market leaders and local leaders like Hamzat will play a pivotal role in shaping the electoral landscape.
