The Progressive Governors Forum, lawmakers including members of the Senate, House of representatives on Thursday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Summit held in Abuja, endorsed President Bola Tinubu as the sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election.
The Independent Mirror reports that the endorsement, which was moved by Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State and Chairman of the Forum, was seconded by Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State.
Mr. Uzodimma, who spoke on behalf of the Forum, emphasised their commitment to mobilising resources and ensuring victory for Tinubu in their respective states.
The motion was thereafter put to a voice vote which witnessed participants, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, members of the National Assembly under the APC, serving and former governors under the party and APC members from 36 states, including the Federal Capital Territory, making a unanimous yes vote.
The governors expressed confidence in Tinubu’s leadership and reforms, promising to deliver their states in the upcoming elections.
This endorsement follows similar moves by other APC regional leaders, including the North Central governors, who recently passed a vote of confidence in Tinubu’s administration, praising his developmental strides and inclusive governance approach.
