Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo has laid out why his party endorsed President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election. The All Progressives Grand Alliance, known as APGA, adopted the All Progressives Congress leader as its preferred candidate. Soludo's explanation, published by Punch, addresses a decision that raised eyebrows among followers of a party built as an independent platform. APGA has dominated Anambra politics for years while remaining marginal on the national stage. Backing the candidate of a rival national party breaks with that positioning. In his account, the endorsement is grounded in pragmatism and the benefits of alignment with the federal government. Dissenters within APGA are likely to argue the party traded its identity for proximity to power. For Tinubu, the move locks in an early regional ally ahead of the campaign.
