APC Governors Endorse Tinubu As Party’s Sole Presidential Candidate For 2027

Governors elected under the All Progressives Congress (APC) have thrown their full support behind President Bola Tinubu, endorsing him as the party’s only presidential candidate for the 2027 elections.

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, who also chairs the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), made the declaration on behalf of the forum during the APC summit held in Abuja on Thursday.

Uzodimma said the governors had agreed that President Tinubu should be given the party’s presidential ticket for a second term, adding that his leadership is key to ensuring the country’s progress.

He called on all APC governors to take the lead in promoting the federal government’s policies and ensure the party secures victories in their respective states in the 2027 elections.

“That for Nigeria to get to her destination faster in prosperity, that the president should be used and adopted as our flag bearer for 2027 presidential election, for a second term in office,” he said.

“That the governors produced by our All Progressives Congress are hereby charged to take responsibility to market our federal government policies, occupy the political space in their domains, and take responsibility for winning all elections in their states come 2027.

“It is therefore my humble pleasure, with total humility, to Almighty God to move that this August assembly adopt and concur the position of progressive governors that Mr President carries our flag 2027 and governors take responsibility for delivering this mandate. I so move as a motion.”

Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, backed the motion, expressing confidence in Tinubu’s leadership and his ability to lead the party to another win.

“I rise to second the motion as ably moved by the chairman of Progressives Governors Forum, the governor of Imo state, His Excellency, Hope Uzodimma, that this August gathering pass a vote of confidence on our able and amiable president, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as a sole candidate of APC come 2027 general election,” Sani said.

This endorsement follows a similar move by APC governors from the North-Central region, who had earlier passed a vote of confidence in Tinubu’s administration on Wednesday.

KanyiDaily recalls that Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, said President Bola Tinubu will receive massive support from the South-East in the 2027 presidential election.
