Abayomi Arabambi, during an interview from 19:53 on Channels Television on Thursday, April 23, 2026, stated that the Labour Party may throw its support behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
In his comments, Arabambi emphasized the idea of regional power rotation, suggesting that the South West should be allowed to complete what he described as its expected eight-year tenure in the presidency.
According to him, supporting Tinubu would be in line with maintaining political balance and respecting an unwritten zoning arrangement between the regions of the country.
“We will support Ahmed Bola Tinubu so that the South West can continue their eight years,” Arabambi said during the interview. “We have to complete that eight years, then let it go to the North.”
His statement signals a significant shift in tone, considering the Labour Party’s role as an opposition force in the last election.
While it remains unclear whether this position reflects the official stance of the Labour Party, the comments are likely to generate debate among party members, supporters, and the wider public.
