APGA, Nigeria’s All Progressives Grand Alliance, supports Anambra Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s inclusion in President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 presidential campaign council. Multiple outlets report that APGA frames the appointment as recognition of Soludo’s leadership and as part of a wider cooperation with the federal government ahead of the 2027 elections.
APGA also reiterates that it has adopted Tinubu as its preferred presidential candidate for 2027 and is not fielding its own candidate for the presidency. Reports say APGA officials describe the move as reflecting ideological alignment and practical benefits for Anambra, including federal backing for infrastructure and economic projects.
Outlets differ mainly in emphasis: some focus on APGA praising Soludo’s appointment to the APC council, while others highlight APGA’s reasons for adopting Tinubu, including Soludo’s role and APGA’s stated goal of mobilising support in the South-East. Vanguard and Nigerian Eye identify details of the revised APC campaign council, including Tinubu as chairman and Kashim Shettima and APC national leadership in vice-chair roles, while naming additional prominent figures.
