Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, a group of Nigerian creatives led by Adams Kehinde, popularly known as Lege Miami, has announced support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election.

The group officially launched Eko57, a pro-Tinubu support platform, at L’Oreal Hotel as part of early mobilisation efforts for the 2027 polls. The event drew notable figures including Yomi Fashlanso, Aremu Afolayan, Ayo Adesanya, Remi Oshodi, Isolate, Ijoba Danku, and Mathew Ididowo.

During the meeting, Aremu Afolayan praised Tinubu for policies that aided local businesses, citing how the President facilitated the reopening of Dubai to Nigerian entrepreneurs, positively impacting his automobile venture. He also highlighted Tinubu’s promotion of local government autonomy, which has brought governance closer to the grassroots.

Lege Miami urged Nigerians to support Tinubu for continuity, stressing that ongoing reforms, such as stabilising the naira and reducing inflation, are yielding results.

Yomi Fashlanso called on members to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), describing it as the essential tool for effecting meaningful change.

The group revealed plans to undertake extensive grassroots mobilisation, strengthen support for the Tinubu administration, address language barriers, and expand outreach to communities ahead of the 2027 elections.
