2027: DLA gov candidates back Tinubu, rule out joining APC

The Democratic Leadership Alliance (DLA) governorship candidates have endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term in 2027, according to a forum comprising candidates across the country. The endorsement was made at a press conference in Abuja, with the candidates pledging to use their grassroots networks to mobilize support for Tinubu's re-election.

The candidates, however, ruled out joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), stating that their endorsement was limited to the presidential election and that they would pursue their ambitions for other elective positions under the DLA platform. The decision to endorse Tinubu was based on the belief that the opposition would not succeed if they abandoned the current government and joined the APC.
