Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have formally endorsed President Bola Tinubu as their sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election.
The endorsement was the high point of the party’s national summit held at the Conference Centre of the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday.
The motion for the endorsement was moved by the Chairman of Progressive Governors Forum and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, and seconded by Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani.
Uzodimma, speaking on behalf of the forum, emphasised their commitment to mobilizing resources and ensuring victory for Tinubu in their respective states.
The governors expressed confidence in Tinubu’s leadership and various reforms, promising that they would deliver their states at all costs in the 2027 elections.
This endorsement by governors is coming on the heels of similar moves by other APC regional leaders, including the North West governors who recently passed a vote of confidence on Tinubu’s administration, on account of what they described as his developmental strides and inclusive governance approach.
The Progressive Governors Forum’s backing further consolidates Tinubu’s position as the APC’s flagbearer for 2027.
