Intersecting Faith and Political Advocacy

In a significant gathering that blended religious devotion with political strategy, the Tinubu-Ambode Support Group hosted its annual Ramadan prayer session on Monday, March 16, 2026. Held in the Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos, the event brought together APC party faithful, community leaders, and Muslim worshippers. The primary objective was to seek divine intervention for the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s "Renewed Hope" agenda and to galvanize support for the ruling party’s candidates as the 2027 general election cycle approaches.

A Call for Sincere Leadership Prayers

Alhaji Teslim Abdul Jabar, the Deputy Missioner of the Nasrul-Lahi-il-Fatih Society (NASFAT), Shasha branch, delivered the keynote spiritual address. Jabar stressed that sincere prayers are a necessary foundation for building a stable society, arguing that economic development is impossible without a peaceful environment. He urged the congregation to unite their faith with purposeful action, highlighting that spiritual supplication should specifically target the wisdom and health of the nation’s current and future leaders to ensure positive societal transformation.

The Ambode Re-emergence Narrative

The prayer session also underscored the enduring political influence of former Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode. Throughout the event, several speakers and participants explicitly called for Ambode’s return to the Alausa Government House in 2027. The Deputy Missioner led specific prayers for Ambode’s welfare and success, reflecting a growing movement within certain APC factions to see the former governor re-enter the state's highest executive office. Participants reaffirmed that their dedication to President Tinubu at the national level remains inextricably linked to support for Ambode at the state level.
