Arise News Political Editor, Sumner Sambo, has said it is not surprising that Lieutenant General Yakubu Danjuma, rtd, is backing President Bola Tinubu for 2027.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’ on Monday, Sambo said Tinubu and Danjuma have long shared a close friendship.
According to him, Danjuma also maintains extensive business interests across Lagos, adding that because of the friendship and the business interests, it is unsurprising to see him backing Tinubu.
“Given that General T.Y. Danjuma also maintains extensive business interests across Lagos, it is unsurprising to see him backing Tinubu,” Sambo said.
Sambo also spoke on the meeting of religious leaders with the President.
He said most religious leaders in the North Central are asking why it was only one Christian that was hand picked to go see the President on their behalf.
He said the leaders want to know why other religions were not included in the meeting.
Sambo said the questions from the North Central leaders show that many people are not happy with how the meeting was arranged.
