Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo has declared his support for President Bola Tinubu’s reelection in 2027, stating he has “no apology” for his decision.
Speaking Thursday night during a television interview in Awka, Soludo described Tinubu as a friend and great ally, advising other presidential aspirants to reconsider their plans. He confirmed that his party, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), will not field a presidential candidate, continuing the stance it took in 2023 when it supported the APC candidate.
“Tinubu is my friend and I want him to win his second term. I’m unapologetic about that,” Soludo said, adding that while it would be historic for a South Easterner to rule Nigeria, “Tinubu has to serve out his second term in office.”
He emphasised that his position should not be viewed as anti-party activity but as “a strategic collaboration in the interest of governance and development.”
The former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor also highlighted the strong working relationship between his administration and the federal government, stating: “APGA’s main focus remains strengthening its influence at the state and regional levels while backing a presidential candidate it believes can deliver at the national level.”
