THE National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Sly Ezeokenwa, has said that the party will not field a presidential candidate in 2027, as part of the party’s tradition and in demonstration of its total support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He dismissed speculations by some opposition politicians that Prof Charles Soludo’s courtesy visit to the president was ostensibly to lobby the president for reciprocal support during the November 8 gubernatorial election in Anambra State.
Ezeokenwa, who made the disclosures during a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, regretted that the members of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State used the recent by-election in the state to foment trouble and weave false narratives about the Soludo administration.
He stated: “Let me begin by stating that this press conference has been necessitated by the persistent falsehoods, deliberate misinformation, and baseless allegations being circulated in the media by the supporters and cronies of the APC Senatorial candidate for the recently conducted Anambra South Senatorial by-election, Mr Azuka Okwuosa.
