    CPC Bloc Rules Out Defection, Pledges Loyalty To Tinubu

    By Farouk AbbasApril 16, 2025
    CPC Bloc

    SOME members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) bloc in the All Progressives Congress (APC) have ruled out the possibility of leaving the APC.

    The bloc led by a former governor of Nasarawa State, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, pledged their loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
    Al-Makura and 22 other members of the CPC bloc who signed the statement asked members of the CPC bloc who are aggrieved to seek internal mechanisms of addressing their grievances.

    Aside from Al-Makura, the CPC bloc members who signed the statement were former governor of Katsina State, Aminu Bello Masari; Mallam Adamu Adamu, Senator Ibrahim Musa, Senator Mustafa Salihu, Hon. Farouk Adamu Aliyu, Hon. Almajiri Geidam, Arc. Waziri Bulama, Dr. Nasiru Ladan Argungu, Dr. Dominic Alancha, Hon. Ayuba Balami, Mr. Osita Okechukwu,and Chief Okoi Obono-Obla.

    TAZKIYAH UNIVERSITY

    Others are Hon. Lucy Ajayi, Captain Bala Jibrin, Hon. Uche Ufearoh, Alh. Yusuf Salihu, Hon. Abubakar Maikudi, Engr. Mutallib Badmus, Alh. Muhammed Ahmed Datti, Hon. Muhammed Etsu, Chief Jerry Johnson, and Alh. Alkali Ajikolo.

    Recall that the CPC, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and a faction of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), called the nPDP had merged to form the APC in 2013.

    UBA

    There are indications that some members of the CPC bloc in the APC have concluded plans to dump the party over alleged lack of fairness to them.

    But the Al-Makura-led group said, “We categorically state that we have neither left the APC nor do we intend to leave. The CPC bloc remains one of the APC’s foundational pillars, and we are resolute in our commitment to the party and its progressive ideals.

    Happy Birthday

    See full statement below:

    PRESS STATEMENT BY CORE MEMBERS OF THE FORMER CONGRESS FOR PROGRESSIVE CHANGE (CPC) REAFFIRMING OUR LOYALTY TO THE APC AND SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR.
    Date: Thursday 17th April, 2025.

    Nigerian TAX Reform - Federal Goverment

    We, the undersigned leaders and committed members of the former Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), who were part of those instrumental in the historic merger that gave birth to the All Progressives Congress (APC), hereby issue this statement to clarify our unalloyed loyalty to our great party and express firm solidarity with the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

    Recent misleading narratives suggesting a defection or disaffection among CPC stakeholders are false, mischievous, and should be ignored. We remain integral to the APC and are fully aligned with its leadership and vision.

    Our position is as follows:

    National Orientation Agency Page UP
    National Orientation Agency - Down

    WE STAND FIRMLY WITH THE APC:
    We wish to state categorically that we have neither left the APC nor do we intend to leave. The CPC bloc remains one of the legacy foundations of the APC, and we are resolute in our commitment to the party and its progressive ideals.

    THE APC IS OUR COLLECTIVE PROJECT:
    As part of the legacy parties that formed the APC, we take pride in the sacrifices made to build a platform that promotes national unity, justice, and development. We will not allow some people to dismantle the party we helped to build through years of tireless work and dedication.

    WE REJECT THE POLITICS OF DIVISION AND DESPERATION:
    Attempts to create disunity within the party and the country do not reflect the will or position of the genuine CPC core members and it is unacceptable.

    SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENT TINUBU’S RENEWED HOPE AGENDA:
    We align ourselves fully with the economic and governance reforms being undertaken by President Bola Tinubu. Though challenging, these policies are necessary steps to rebuild our economy and secure a better future for all Nigerians. We urge patience and collective support as the benefits unfold.

    INTERNAL DISCONTENT MUST BE ADDRESSED THROUGH DUE PROCESS:
    While we acknowledge that some party members may feel sidelined, we emphasize that such grievances are not exclusive to any one bloc. We advise those concerned to seek redress through constitutional channels within the party and not to resort to negative public agitation or hasty exits from the party.

    OUR DEMOCRACY AND PARTY MUST BE STRENGTHENED, NOT WEAKENED:
    At this critical point in Nigeria’s democratic journey, it is imperative for all APC members—especially those with deep roots in the party’s formation—to work together to preserve its legacy and help consolidate Nigeria’s democracy. We must avoid actions that erode our unity and the stability of the nation.

    CALL FOR BETTER ENGAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION:
    We call on the leadership of the APC to scale up engagement with members across all levels. Strengthening internal communication will reduce tension, foster inclusiveness, and enhance support for the party’s programs. Party unity must be nurtured continuously in order to sustain the gains and to secure the future.

    We therefore reaffirm our loyalty to the APC and our support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. The CPC family remains a vital pillar of the APC and will continue to play a responsible role in its growth and in the progress of Nigeria.

    God Bless President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
    Long Live the APC!
    Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!

    Signed:
    1. His Excellency, Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura
