2027: APC, APGA disagree over Anambra ‘alliance’

The All Progressives Congress (APC) and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) are engaged in a disagreement over the concept of progressive cooperation in Anambra State. The APC Deputy National Chairman, Ben Nwoye, has rejected the claim that progressive forces are collaborating ahead of the 2027 general elections, describing the statement as a fallacy aimed at deceiving the public.

He urged APC supporters not to be misled by APGA's slogan. The APC is focused on securing victory for its candidates in the upcoming elections, including President Bola Tinubu. The APC senatorial candidate for Anambra Central, Uche Ekwunife, emphasized her commitment to supporting the President and other APC candidates. The APGA Publicity Secretary, Ejimofor Opara, maintains that the "progressives are working together" position is valid, pointing to the party's adoption of Tinubu as its presidential candidate for the 2027 election.

Opara argued that APGA's support for Tinubu has contributed to the President's political standing in Anambra and the South-East.
