Deputy Speaker Kalu signs Tinubu’s 2027 nomination form, calls it 'beautiful birthday gift'

In a symbolic gesture underscoring commitment to the current administration's trajectory, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu has officially endorsed President Bola Tinubu's bid for a second term in 2027 by signing his nomination form. Kalu, who recently celebrated his 55th birthday, framed this act as a 'beautiful birthday gift,' highlighting his alignment with the President's 'Renewed Hope Agenda.'

“

Yesterday, I had the rare privilege of endorsing and signing the nomination form of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, presented by the Member representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, Hon. James Faleke. alongside the Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo.

This endorsement is not an isolated event. It echoes similar actions by other prominent figures, such as the Minister of Works, David Umahi, who previously signed the forms, terming it a 'victory form.' These collective endorsements serve to formally launch President Tinubu's re-election campaign, signaling a unified front among key political players and reinforcing the administration's focus on continuity and the consolidation of its development agenda.

“

This was indeed a beautiful birthday gift, to have had the opportunity of reaffirming my support and commitment to the continuity of the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda as we look ahead to the 2027 elections.

The procurement of the N100 million All Progressives Congress Expression of Interest and Nomination forms by James Faleke, founder of the Tinubu Support Groups, marks a significant milestone in the President's re-election campaign. This move anticipates the upcoming 2027 presidential election, with the Independent National Electoral Commission having already scheduled the polls. The unified front presented by these endorsements aims to project stability and a shared vision for Nigeria's continued progress under President Tinubu's leadership.

“

We remain resolute in our pledge to work with Mr. President in delivering transformative reforms that will advance our nation’s development and improve the lives of our people.
