APGA in Anambra Aims for 50% Support for Tinubu in 2027 Elections

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra State has announced its goal to secure 50 percent of the votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the January 2027 general elections. This commitment was made during the launch of the APGA Presidential Campaign Council at the Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.

The event attracted a large crowd of party members and local residents from across the state. This strong turnout sends a clear message to the opposition Nigerian Democratic Congress and its candidate, Peter Obi, that the race for the presidency is serious.

Governor Charles Soludo addressed the crowd, emphasizing that APGA has chosen to support Tinubu, stating, “We don’t have a presidential candidate. Tinubu is our candidate.” He highlighted that the party’s decision to back the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate is a strategic political move.

Soludo praised Tinubu for his attention to the needs of the people in Anambra and the wider South-East region. He noted that despite receiving only about 5,000 votes for Tinubu in the last election, the president has made significant contributions to the state, addressing issues like erosion.

The governor urged Anambra residents to support Tinubu in the upcoming election, arguing that this would strengthen the state’s position to negotiate for more development projects with the Federal Government. “We need to vote for him in order to sit with the government at the centre and negotiate for the development of the South-East and Anambra State,” he said.
