2027: Soludo flags off APGA campaign, targets 50% votes for Tinubu

On Friday, Anambra State Governor Prof. Chukwuma Soludo launched the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) campaign rally, pledging to secure at least 50% of the state's votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. This follows Tinubu's strong showing in Anambra State during the 2023 elections, where he garnered fewer than 5,000 votes.

Soludo emphasized the state's history of supporting Tinubu in previous elections and highlighted the president's efforts to address Anambra's challenges and the South-East region's needs. The governor urged Anambra residents to back Tinubu's campaign, arguing that this would enhance the state and the South-East's position in negotiations with the Federal Government.

The event saw the unveiling of over 253 candidates as the party's standard-bearers, including three senators, 11 representatives, and 30 state House of Assembly members. APGA National Chairman Chief Sly Ezeokenwa expressed confidence in the party's prospects, urging candidates to disseminate the party's manifesto across all voting districts.
