The All Progressives Congress (APC) governors have officially adopted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the party’s sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election. The endorsement was made at the APC National Summit held at the Presidential Villa, where Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, who is also the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, announced the decision. Uzodimma stated that the governors had collectively agreed that President Tinubu should be the APC’s candidate for the 2027 elections. The motion for Tinubu’s endorsement was moved by Uzodimma and seconded by Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, and was unanimously approved by the gathering with an overwhelming “yes” vote. The endorsement is seen as a significant boost to Tinubu’s re-election bid, with the governors expressing confidence in his leadership and reforms. Uzodimma emphasized the governors’ commitment to mobilizing resources and ensuring victory for Tinubu in their respective states. This development comes as discussions on Tinubu’s re-election have taken center stage in political discourse, with posters and billboards headlining his re-election campaign dominating strategic locations in Abuja. The APC governors’ endorsement follows similar moves by other APC regional leaders, including the North Central governors, who recently passed a vote of confidence in Tinubu’s administration. In a related development, governors and key political figures from the North Central region of Nigeria have also voiced their support for President Tinubu’s re-election, stressing the importance of continuity of his policies and initiatives. The motion for the endorsement of President Tinubu for a second term in 2027 was formally moved by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume.
