The Governor of Anambra State Prof Charles Soludo has disclosed that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has adopted President Bola Tinubu as the party’s presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 general election.
Penpushing reports that Soludo who is a member of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Tinubu a member of All Progressives (APC) made the disclosure on Thursday during a reception organised in honour of the President, who visited Anambra State to commission some projects.
The Governor speaking at the event, held at the popular Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka, said in 2011 before he joined All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) the party in 2013 took official position to support any political party in government at the centre
“In 2011 before I joined APGA in 2013, APGA took an official position to support and work with the political party and government at the centre. Indeed, in that year, APGA adopted the sitting president then as its presidential candidate and I want to report that policy by APGA has not changed’, he stated.
“Coincidentally Mr President, at this moment in history, the government at the centre is the one that also professes progressivism. As the foremost progressive party in Nigeria, APGA is strategically and ideologically aligned with the centre (APC-led federal government). And so far, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the progressives are working well together’, Soludo declared
Penpushing further reports that the Governor’s statement suggested his party All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) will adopt Tinubu as its presidential candidate in 2027, while it is recalled that the party adopted Goodluck Jonathan the Presidential Candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2011 and won the election
The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), however, in 2023 dropped the policy and elected Prof Peter Umeadi, as the party’s presidential candidate ahead of the general election that year.
