Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo has reaffirmed that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) will continue its longstanding policy of adopting Nigeria’s sitting president as its preferred candidate in national elections.

Speaking on Thursday during President Bola Tinubu’s visit to Anambra State where several major projects were inaugurated Soludo emphasized that APGA remains “strategically and ideologically aligned” with the federal government.

As APGA’s national leader and the party’s only serving governor, Soludo traced the party’s stance back over a decade.
“In 2011, before I joined APGA in 2013, APGA took an official position to support and work with the political party and government at the centre,” he said. “Indeed, in that year, APGA adopted the sitting president as its presidential candidate, and I want to report that APGA’s policy has not changed.”

Soludo added that Tinubu’s administration, which identifies as progressive, aligns naturally with APGA’s ideological foundation.
“Coincidentally, Mr President, at this moment in history, the government at the centre is the one that also professes progressivism. Then as the foremost progressive party in Nigeria, APGA is strategically and ideologically aligned with the centre. And so far, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the progressives are working well together,” Soludo stated.
