The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, has officially adopted President Bola Tinubu as its candidate for the 2027 presidential election.
This was announced on Thursday by Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State.
He emphasized that APGA and the All Progressives Congress, APC would work together, as both parties share a common belief in progressivism.
The announcement was made at Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka during the President’s working visit to the state. Governor Soludo stated, “Progressives are working together.”
The governor said, “In 2011 (before I joined in 2013), APGA took an official position to support and work with the political party/government at the centre.
“Indeed, in that year, APGA adopted the sitting president then as its presidential candidate.
“That policy has not changed. Coincidentally at this moment in history, the party/government at the Centre is one that also professes ‘progressivism’.
“As the foremost progressive party in Nigeria, APGA is ideologically and strategically aligned with the Centre. So far, the progressives are working well, together!
“It is indeed time for all progressives, federalists and all parties with social-democratic, centrist, and left-of centre credentials to unite—to advance the purpose of a united and progressive Nigeria. Mr. President should lead us in this new movement.”
“The Presidential lodge is ready, and we are looking forward to your next visit.
“Perhaps, it won’t be a bad idea to relocate your office and operate from Anambra for a week or two,” he further stated.
