The Association of Local Governments of Nigeria has endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The endorsement was part of resolutions reached at the association’s 54th Expanded National Executive Council meeting held in Abuja.
The meeting, chaired by ALGON National President, Bello Lawal, was attended by members from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, as well as past leaders of the association.
The motion to endorse Tinubu was moved by a former ALGON President, Alabi Kolade David, and seconded by the Plateau State ALGON chairman, Anani Hamisu Mohammed.
In a communiqué issued after the meeting on Sunday, Mohammed said continuity under Tinubu would “deepen grassroots governance” and reaffirmed the association’s support for the administration.
ALGON said its decision was based on the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which it noted had improved fiscal capacity and autonomy at the local government level.
It also passed a vote of confidence in its national president, pledging loyalty to the leadership.
