The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has officially endorsed President Bola Tinubu as its presidential candidate in anticipation of the general election in 2027, according to Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo.
At a ceremony held on Thursday in honour of the president, who was in Anambra State to commission several projects, Mr. Soludo made this announcement.
Channels TV carried live coverage of the event, which took place in Awka’s well-known Alex Ekwueme Square.
Governor Soludo said, “In 2011 before I joined APGA in 2013, APGA took an official position to support and work with the political party and government at the centre,”
“Indeed, in that year, APGA adopted the sitting president then as its presidential candidate and I want to report that policy by APGA has not changed,” the governor said, suggesting his party will adopt Tinubu as its presidential candidate in 2027.
At the gathering on Thursday, Mr. Soludo implied that it was simpler to accept Mr. Tinubu as the APGA’s presidential candidate since the APC and the APGA both claim to be “progressive” and hence share similar ideologies.
“Coincidentally Mr President, at this moment in history, the government at the centre is the one that also professes progressivism.
“As the foremost progressive party in Nigeria, APGA is strategically and ideologically aligned with the centre (APC-led federal government),”
“And so far, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the progressives are working well together” he added.
