The South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA), Lagos State Chapter, says President Bola Tinubu will win by a landslide in Lagos in the 2027 general elections.
Mr Lanre Odubote, Chairman of the Lagos SWAGA Media Committee, said this at a press briefing held at the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) Secretariat, Lagos, on Wednesday.
Odubote said the group was intensifying grassroots mobilisation across local governments, wards and polling units to ensure a wide victory margin for the President.

“We have learnt from our mistakes in 2023. This time, we are determined to mobilise effectively across the state and ensure that President Tinubu wins Lagos by a landslide in 2027,” he said.
He said SWAGA would engage women, youths, artisans, traders, professionals, transport workers and other community stakeholders to strengthen support for Tinubu’s administration.
“SWAGA is not just about elections; we are also committed to promoting the Renewed Hope Agenda, explaining government policies and encouraging constructive engagement between the government and the people,” Odubote said.
He described SWAGA as a volunteer-driven political movement established to promote Tinubu’s leadership philosophy, progressive ideals and vision for national development.
Odubote recalled that SWAGA was among the pioneering political movements that mobilised support for Tinubu’s presidential ambition ahead of the 2023 general elections.
“Our members took the message to markets, communities, traditional institutions, motor parks and other public spaces.
“We believe that the same commitment, strengthened by better coordination, will produce a greater result in 2027,” he said.
He said the movement would complement the existing structures of the All Progressives Congress (APC), rather than operate as a parallel political organisation.
“Lagos SWAGA is not being established to compete with the APC. Our objective is to complement the party’s machinery, strengthen its mobilisation capacity and contribute to the President’s re-election victory,” he said.
He announced that Lagos SWAGA would be formally inaugurated on Friday, at the Blue Roof, Lagos Television, Agidingbi, Ikeja.
Odubote said the inauguration would bring together political leaders, government officials, APC stakeholders, traditional rulers, women and youth leaders, professional groups and other supporters.
“The inauguration will formally unveil our state leadership, present our strategic action plan and inaugurate local government and ward coordinators to ensure effective grassroots operations,” he said.
Odubote called on APC members, supporters of President Tinubu and other stakeholders to participate in the inauguration, describing it as a new phase in the movement’s mobilisation drive.
He said the movement remained confident that unity, effective coordination and sustained grassroots mobilisation would translate into a landslide victory for Tinubu in Lagos in 2027.
