APGA adopts Tinubu as presidential candidate, targets 50% of votes in Anambra

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has adopted President Bola Tinubu, the APC candidate, as its choice for Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election. Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo announced the decision Friday in Awka at the launch of APGA’s national campaign, citing Tinubu’s concern for the Igbo people and Anambra residents. Soludo noted that Tinubu received only about 5,000 votes in the state in 2023, but said his work addressing challenges in Anambra and the Southeast warranted support. The governor set a target of winning 50% of Anambra’s votes for Tinubu in 2027 to strengthen the region’s ability to engage with the federal government.
