…Pledge to Deliver Their States for APC Victory
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has received a major boost ahead of the 2027 general elections as the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) officially endorsed him as the sole presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The endorsement was announced during the APC National Summit currently holding at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The motion for Tinubu’s endorsement was moved by Imo State Governor and PGF Chairman, Hope Uzodimma, and seconded by Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani—signaling a united front by APC governors in backing the President’s second-term ambition.
Speaking on behalf of the forum, Uzodimma reaffirmed the governors’ unwavering support for Tinubu, commending his leadership and reform agenda. He pledged that APC governors will mobilize political structures in their respective states to secure victory for the party in 2027.
> “We are committed to delivering our states for President Tinubu. His transformative leadership has set a new direction for Nigeria, and we stand fully behind him,” Uzodimma declared.
The endorsement aligns with recent declarations of support from other party blocs, including APC governors from the North Central, who recently passed a vote of confidence on Tinubu’s administration, citing his strides in infrastructure, economic reforms, and inclusive governance.
This strong show of support from the APC governors comes at a time when opposition alliances are beginning to take shape. Notably, former PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, and ex-Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, are reported to be aligning with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in anticipation of the 2027 polls.
Tinubu’s endorsement by the Progressive Governors Forum not only solidifies his hold on the APC structure but also sends a clear signal to opposition blocs as political realignments continue ahead of the next election cycle.
