The race for the 2027 presidential ticket of the opposition National Rescue Movement (NRM) has gained momentum following the entry of Faduri Oluwadare Joseph, popularly known as Fadojoe.
Fadojoe has obtained the Presidential Expression of Interest and Nomination Form of the National Rescue Movement ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The nomination form was collected at the party’s national secretariat on his behalf by Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba, who represented the aspirant during the exercise.

Fadojoe previously contested for the presidency in 2023 as an aspirant under the Labour Party.

Speaking after receiving the form, Rev. Olorunmagba, who also serves as the National Director of Media and Publicity for the Rescue Movement for New Nigeria, disclosed that Fadojoe is currently outside the country holding high-level consultations as part of preparations for the 2027 presidential race.

According to him, “His Excellency Faduri Oluwadare Joseph, popularly known as Fadojoe, is presently out of the country on consultations in different countries ahead of preparations for the election.

“Having paid for the form on April 16, 2026, he requested that it be collected on his behalf. Upon his return to Nigeria, he will personally complete and submit the form in readiness for the party screening and primary election,” he added.

The development officially signals Fadojoe’s return to the race for Nigeria’s highest political office under the platform of the National Rescue Movement, as political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to gather momentum across the country.
