All 22 governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have formally endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the party’s sole presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections.
The endorsement was announced by Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, who chairs the Progressive Governors Forum, during the APC National Summit held at the State House Banquet Hall in Abuja. The summit, themed Renewed Hope Agenda: The Journey So Far, brought together top APC stakeholders.
Uzodimma’s motion was seconded by Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, the forum’s Vice Chairman. The motion was adopted by a voice vote and received a standing ovation from attendees, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, members of the National Assembly, serving and former governors, and party members from all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
This unanimous endorsement follows a similar declaration by APC leaders in the North-West five days earlier, indicating growing internal support for Tinubu’s second-term bid.
The show of unity comes as the APC positions itself early for the 2027 elections, aiming to consolidate party strength and eliminate internal divisions ahead of the presidential race.
