APGA Adopts Tinubu As Presidential Candidate For 2027 Election

The Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo has announced that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has officially adopted President Bola Tinubu as its candidate for the 2027 presidential election.

The Governor made the declaration at Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka during the President’s working visit to the state on Thursday.

Soludo said, “Progressives are working together.”

Soludo further emphasized that APGA and the All Progressives Congress (APC) would work together, as both parties share a common belief in progressivism.

Meanwhile, Soludo, has taken a swipe at previous administrations in the state over developmental projects for the people of Anambra.

Speaking on Thursday during an official visit by President Bola Tinubu, in which some projects implemented by the Soludo administration in Anambra were commissioned, the Governor decried that it has been thirteen years since a President visited the state to commission projects.

He added that the last visit by a President to Anambra State was in 2012, and then it was to commission a brewery and another private project.

Naijaonpoint reports that Peter Obi was the Anambra State Governor in 2012.

Governor Soludo, however, listed projects completed by his administration to include several road projects, water projects, hospitals and many more.

“Your visit to Anambra State today, Mr. President, is historic and consequential. The last state visit by a President was in 2012, ostensibly to commission a brewery and another private enterprise.

“This visit is not just to commission projects; we have over 500km of roads, flyovers, bridges, completed and waiting for commissioning. We have about five new general hospitals and world-class trauma centres completed and waiting for commissioning. We have new smart schools and water projects waiting for commissioning. New markets and bus terminals, etc,” Soludo said during his speech.
