More than 500 Islamic scholars, preachers and clerics have passed a vote of confidence in President Bola Tinubu’s administration, throwing their support behind his leadership amid renewed political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The declaration came as debates continue across the country over the performance of the Tinubu administration, particularly its economic reforms and policies.

The gathering of Islamic leaders, which brought together scholars and religious figures, expressed confidence in the direction of the government and its efforts to address Nigeria’s challenges.

The endorsement adds a new dimension to the growing political momentum ahead of the 2027 elections, with major political actors already positioning themselves for the contest.
