Ahead of the commencement of the 2027 election campaigns, the All Progressive Governors Forum, on Thursday, announced that they have formally endorsed President Bola Tinubu as their sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election.
The Governors made the declaration on Thursday, at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Summit, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The endorsement was moved by the forum, Hope Uzodinma, chairman of the Forum and Imo State Governor, while the motion was seconded by Governor UBA Sani of Kaduna State.
The move is seen as signalling strong unity among the party’s governors in support of Tinubu’s bid for a second term.
Uzodimma, speaking on behalf of the forum, emphasised their commitment to mobilising resources and ensuring victory for Tinubu in their respective states.
The governors expressed confidence in Tinubu’s leadership and reforms, promising to deliver their states in the upcoming elections.
This 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, praising his developmental strides and inclusive governance approach.
The Progressive Governors Forum’s backing may also have foreclosed the chances of any opposition to and consolidated Tinubu’s position as the APC’s flagbearer for 2027.
