Federal lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, Honourable James Faleke, on Tuesday picked Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Lagos State Deputy Governor and consensus candidate for the 2027 governorship race, Obafemi Hamzat.
Faleke, who also picked forms for a House of Representatives seat to return to the Green Chamber, equally picked the form for the incumbent Senator representing Lagos West, Senator Idiat Adebule.
Speaking with journalists at the Continental Hotel, venue of the sale of forms, Honourable Faleke expressed confidence that President Tinubu would secure a fresh mandate from Nigerians.
He submitted that the APC was not bothered about the move by the coalition of opposition parties to present a single candidate for the presidential race.
He said, “By the grace of God, he will contest and he will win the election. Everything is intact, and God is in charge.
Let me tell you that political parties can come together; it is part of democracy. When we do our work, they will do their work.”
The Chairman of the Finance Committee of the House of Representatives further clarified that no single support group picked the forms for Tinubu.
“There is no one particular person that has done this. It is on behalf of all Nigerians. Just as we did pre-2023 election, I was also privileged with some leaders to buy the form. Here again, I am privileged to buy the form on behalf of all Nigerians, for our President, for our performing President. And by the grace of God, 2027 will be a reality.”
