APGA, Soludo  Adopt Tinubu As Presidential Flag Bearer

By Suleiman Anyalewechi

“APC and APGA have the same ideology, and will work together to deliver the President for his  second term in office” – Soludo

The All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA, on Thursday. May 8, 2025, announced the adoption of President Bola Tinubu, as its Presidential Candidate come 2027 general elections.

The Anambra State Governor,  Prof Charles Soludo, who made the declaration at the Alex Ekwume Square, Awka, while receiving the President who paid a one-day working visit to the State, also informed that the APGA will be working together with the All Progressive Congress APC to realize the second term ambition of the President.

According to him, APGA and APC share a common philosophy and political ideology which are solidly anchored on progressivism.

The Source reports that Governor Soludo’s endorsement is coming on the heels of the gale of defections that have rocked the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last few weeks. The APC has been the major beneficiary.

Apart from the outright defection of  Delta State’s Governor Sherrif Oborevwori to the APC, his Akwa Ibom State counterpart, Dr Umoh Eno ,has publicly declared his support for the second term bid of the President as well as the readiness to join forces with him in the APC.

Instructively, and perhaps curiously, the spate of endorsement of the President’s re-election bid by opposition Governors, comes amidst calls for the formation of a strong coalition to oust him in 2027.

Apart from Katsina State which is under the control of the President’s party, most of the States that he has visited within his two  years in office are opposition States.

Governor Soludo who will be facing the electorate on November 8, 2025, for his own re-election bid , noted that the people of Anambra State have resolved to line up behind President Tinubu so as to sustain his Renewed Hope Agenda.

Before the arrival of the President, both APC and APGA faithful were barred from wearing any party branded clothes to the event to underscore the importance attached the new working relationship.
