2027: No alliance against Tinubu will be entertained — APC govs

State governors elected under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have rejected any alliance that threatens the re-election bid of President Bola Tinubu in the forthcoming 2027 general elections and vowed loyalty to the party’s course.

Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, made the declaration on behalf of the governors on Monday night during a closed-door meeting at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja.

Uzodimma stated that no arrangement that creates confusion, divided loyalty or competing interests within the party would be entertained.

According to him, the primary focus of the forum is to support official APC candidates at all levels rather than external interests.

“The APC Governors Forum unanimously resolved that its members will not participate in, support or endorse any alliance or political arrangement capable of undermining the re-election of Mr President, weakening the APC or adversely affecting any candidate of the party at all levels.

“In other words, the forum has no intention to support any candidate at any level that is not an APC candidate because our candidates who are contesting the election are being sponsored by our party.

“The governors’ campaign commitment is exclusively to all APC candidates. All levels of the party campaign architecture will align with the expectations of Mr President and the strategic objectives of the party,” Uzodimma said.
