Group Organises Prayer Session for Tinubu’s 2027 Victory in Lagos

A support group, the Iyaloja General Movement, has organised a special prayer session seeking victory for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.

The event, which held in Lagos on Thursday, attracted traditional rulers, Islamic scholars, market leaders, political stakeholders, community leaders, and supporters of the All Progressives Congress.

The gathering also served as the ninth Annual Ramadan Lecture, special prayer session, and palliative distribution organised by the Lagos State chapter of the Iyaloja General Movement, with members from other states also in attendance.

Traditional rulers present included the Olu of Agege, Oba Kamila Isiba; the Alaige of Orile Agege Kingdom, Oba Ambaliu Adegbeyi; and the Ologba of Ogba, Oba Latif Egbeyemi.

In a statement, the group’s coordinator, Mutiullahi Oladeebo, said the gathering was part of efforts to support the president’s re-election bid. He commended Tinubu for his leadership and efforts at repositioning the country for growth and development.

Oladeebo noted that the event marked the beginning of the group’s mobilisation drive as a support base within the APC for the re-election of the president and other party candidates in the next general election.

“We are gathered here in the spirit of Ramadan season to commit our ways to Almighty Allah. We are here to pray for the government of our father and leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Not just that, we are equally praying for his victory at the forthcoming general election,” he said.

He added that the occasion also provided an opportunity for the group to support vulnerable members of society through the distribution of food palliatives to help cushion the effects of fasting during Ramadan.

Oladeebo expressed confidence that the APC, the president, and other party candidates would emerge victorious in the election, adding that the Iyaloja General Movement would play a key role in mobilising support for the party.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a period of fasting, prayer, reflection, and charity. During the holy month, Muslim faithful abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset and often engage in increased acts of worship and community support.
