The South-East All Progressives Congress (APC) has endorsed the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) stance, urging all APC candidates to receive the party's backing in the 2027 general election. The PGF has declared it will not back or endorse any alliance that could undermine President Bola Tinubu's re-election or weaken the ruling party.
This stance was taken against the Rainbow Coalition, led by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. Wike is backing PDP governors in Imo State and former APC member Senator Saliu Mustapha, who is contesting the Kwara central Senatorial election against AbdulRazaq. The South-East APC leaders denounced Wike's recent attacks on PGF members, calling them "unfortunate, reprehensible, and completely unacceptable."
They emphasized that the PGF's governors are independent elected leaders with impressive records, who should be treated with respect.
