APC Govs: We Won’t Support Any Political Arrangement Capable of Undermining Tinubu’s Re-election

The Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) has declared that it will not support or endorse any political arrangement that could undermine the re-election of President Bola Tinubu, weaken the ruling party, or affect any of their candidates negatively in the 2027 general election. The PGF, which represents governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), made this declaration in a closed-door meeting in Abuja on Monday night.

The PGF's Chairman, Senator Hope Uzodimma, stated that the forum would not participate in, support, or endorse any alliance or political arrangement that could create confusion, divide loyalty, or create competing interests within the party. The declaration may be related to the perceived animosity between the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the Kwara State Governor, AbdulRazaq AbdulRahaman, who are both supporting candidates from opposing parties in the 2027 elections.

Uzodimma emphasized that the primary focus of the PGF is to support official APC candidates at all levels, rather than external interests. He reiterated that the APC Governors Forum is committed exclusively to the election of APC candidates at all levels, and the governors' campaign commitment is aligned with President Tinubu's and the party's strategic objectives.

The upcoming campaign will focus on several key pillars, including grassroots mobilization, engaging all demographic groups, strengthening party unity, harmonizing campaign structures, and driving development across the states in line with the administration's Renewed Hope agenda.
