Former members of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the Alliance for Democracy (ADC) in Ogun State have announced an alliance aimed at mobilising 100,000 votes for President Bola Tinubu’s re‑election and for Senator Adeola Adeyeye, known as Yayi.
The coalition, formed by ex‑PDP and ADC supporters, will coordinate canvassing efforts across the state’s 20 local government areas. Its primary objective is to secure a substantial bloc of votes for Tinubu and Yayi ahead of the upcoming national elections.
While the alliance has not released a detailed plan, it has stated that it will utilise grassroots networks, community meetings and social media outreach to reach voters. The partnership reflects a growing trend of cross‑party collaboration in key Nigerian states.
Ogun State, located in southwestern Nigeria, is a critical battleground for national elections. Mobilising 100,000 votes could significantly influence the electoral outcome in the region, where voter turnout is typically high.
Both Tinubu and Yayi have expressed support for the initiative, underscoring the importance of unity among former opposition supporters to bolster their campaigns.
