The Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) has formally endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the sole presidential candidate of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 general elections.
The endorsement was announced by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, who also chairs the PGF, during the APC summit held on Thursday, May 22, in Abuja. Uzodimma stated that the decision reflects a unified belief among APC governors in Tinubu’s leadership and its importance to Nigeria’s continued development.
For Nigeria to reach its destination of prosperity faster, we believe the president should be adopted as our flagbearer for the 2027 election, Uzodimma said.
The motion was seconded by Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, who echoed the forum’s confidence in Tinubu’s leadership and pledged full support:
I second the motion that this gathering passes a vote of confidence in our able and amiable president, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the sole APC candidate for the 2027 general election, Sani stated.
This endorsement follows a vote of confidence passed in President Tinubu’s administration by APC governors from the North-Central geopolitical zone on Wednesday, May 21.
