The APC National Chairman says the PDP, APGA and Accord are backing President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a re-election campaign ahead of 2027. In the claims reported by Nigerian outlets, he presents the development as a sign of broader political alignment around Tinubu.
Both reports frame the statement as contested. The Punch notes that a PDP faction disputes the assertion. Vanguard similarly reports the chairman’s claim that parties that previously defeated the APC have joined Tinubu’s re-election campaign, without detailing any formal agreement or publicly released backing from the referenced parties. The overall picture across outlets is therefore one of an APC-led announcement about cross-party support that is met with at least some political pushback, particularly within the PDP.
