We Won’t Support Any Alliance That Can Undermine Tinubu’s Re-election, Say Govs
• President’s first term economic performance will guarantee his victory, Yari declares • Wike’s PDP hits back at ruling party’s govs, says their problem is poor performance Chuks Okocha, Olawale
The Progressive Governors' Forum (PGF), comprised of governors from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has pledged not to back any alliance that could jeopardise President Bola Tinubu's re-election, nor support any political arrangement that may sow discord within the party or hinder any of its candidates in the 2027 general election.
This stance was announced by the PGF's chairman, Senator Hope Uzodimma, following a private meeting in Abuja. The forum, which serves as the umbrella body for APC-elected governors, reiterated its commitment to backing official APC candidates at all levels. Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Abdulaziz Yari, stated that Tinubu's re-election is justified by his performance during his first term.
Yari highlighted improvements in GDP growth, a decline in inflation, and stabilization of foreign exchange markets. The PGF's primary focus, according to Uzodimma, is to back official APC candidates, as their campaign strategies are solely aligned with the interests of the party and its officials. The APC Presidential Campaign Council aims to spearhead the president's re-election bid across the nation, with key strategies including grassroots mobilisation and strengthening internal party unity.
