The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has explained why it endorsed President Bola Tinubu as its preferred presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Morning Show on Friday, APGA National Chairman, Sylvester Ezeokenwa, said the party’s decision was based on its long-standing policy and its belief in the President’s leadership.
According to him, the endorsement was guided by both party policy and conviction.
Ezeokenwa said, “Well, I think there are a lot of thinking that went into that policy. Like I always say, it is a policy, or it is a decision that was fuelled by both policy and conviction.
“Policy in the sense that this is what was started some years ago, precisely in 2010-2011, when the party deemed it fit at that point to adopt the presidential candidacy of the then president Goodluck Jonathan.
“The party has not steered away from that particular policy. That policy is still intact.
“Then, the next one is conviction, in the sense that the the party believes that the president is steering the country in the right direction.
“Given the needed reforms that the president has orchestrated, which probably aligns with the progressive agenda of APGA, is in the best interest of the party for the party to adopt the candidacy of President Bola Tinubu.”
APGA officially endorsed President Tinubu as its preferred candidate for the 2027 presidential election on Wednesday.
