All 22 governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have unanimously endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the party’s sole presidential candidate for the upcoming 2027 general elections.

The endorsement was announced on Thursday by the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, during the APC National Summit held at the State House Banquet Hall in Abuja. The summit, themed “Renewed Hope Agenda: The Journey So Far,” served as a significant platform for party leaders to rally support for Tinubu.

Governor Uzodimma initiated the motion for Tinubu’s adoption as the APC’s sole candidate, which was seconded by the PGF Vice Chairman, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State. The motion was subsequently put to a voice vote and received overwhelming support, culminating in a standing ovation from summit participants. Attendees included Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, members of the National Assembly, as well as both current and former governors, and APC members from all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

This significant endorsement comes just five days after a similar declaration from the Northwest APC faction, indicating a growing consensus within the party in favor of Tinubu’s bid for a second term.
