2027: Sambo Explains Why TY Danjuma Is Backing Tinubu
By OUR REPORTER
He said several Christian leaders in the region were questioning why only one Christian leader was reportedly selected to represent them at the meeting with the President.
Arise News Political Editor, Sumner Sambo, has said the reported endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election in 2027 by retired Lieutenant General T.Y. Danjuma should not come as a surprise, citing the longstanding relationship between the two men.
Sambo made the observation during an interview on Arise Television’s The Morning Show on Monday.
According to him, Danjuma and Tinubu have maintained a close friendship over the years, while the retired military general also has extensive business interests in Lagos.
He argued that these factors could explain Danjuma’s reported support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
“Given that General T.Y. Danjuma also maintains extensive business interests across Lagos, it is unsurprising to see him backing Tinubu,” Sambo said.
Sambo also commented on the recent meeting between President Tinubu and some religious leaders, saying the arrangement had raised questions among religious stakeholders in the North-Central region.
He said several Christian leaders in the region were questioning why only one Christian leader was reportedly selected to represent them at the meeting with the President.
According to him, the leaders also want to know why representatives of other religious groups were not included.
Sambo said the concerns reflected dissatisfaction among some religious stakeholders over the manner in which the meeting was organised.
