Olujuwon Obasanjo, the son of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, has publicly declared his support for President Bola Tinubu’s bid to win a second term in the 2027 presidential election.
The announcement was made in a statement that highlighted the Obasanjo family’s continued engagement in national politics. Olujuwon said he would use his influence to rally voters and political allies behind Tinubu’s campaign.
President Tinubu, who has led Nigeria since taking office, is expected to seek re‑election in the next electoral cycle. The backing of a prominent political lineage such as the Obasanjos is seen as a notable addition to Tinubu’s coalition of supporters.
While the statement did not outline specific campaign strategies, it underscored a broader trend of former leaders’ families playing active roles in shaping the political landscape ahead of the 2027 election.
