The Lagos State Government–owned Ndubuisi Kanu Park in Alausa was transformed into a vibrant arena of colour, culture and political solidarity as the South-West Arewa Community for Asiwaju 2027 held its landmark mobilisation summit.
The venue brimmed with thousands of enthusiastic Arewa residents from across the South-West, showcasing an impressive display of unity, commitment and renewed loyalty to President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Spearheading this powerful mobilisation was Alhaji Shehu Usman “Sampam”, respected leader of the Arewa Community in the South-West, who reaffirmed the group’s dedication to peaceful coexistence, civic participation and political continuity. His message emphasised that the Arewa community remains an integral part of the political development of Lagos and the broader South-West.

Masari, renowned for his stabilising political expertise and grassroots reach across northern Nigeria, praised the South-West Arewa initiative for its loyalty and its strategic efforts towards the success of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

He described their pledge to deliver over 600,000 committed votes for Tinubu in 2027 as a testament to trust, harmony and shared political vision.
