Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, says the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) will keep to its “policy” of adopting a sitting president as its candidate ahead of the 2027 elections.
Soludo spoke on Thursday while hosting President Bola Tinubu in Anambra to inaugurate several major projects executed by the state government.
Soludo is the sole governor on the platform of APGA and the party’s national leader.
The governor said APGA is “strategically and ideologically aligned” with the government at the federal level.

He added that the party’s policy of adopting a sitting president as its candidate “has not changed” with President Tinubu.
“In 2011, before I joined APGA in 2013, APGA took an official position to support and work with the political party and government at the centre,” Soludo said.
“Indeed, in that year, APGA adopted the sitting president as its presidential candidate, and I want to report that APGA’s policy has not changed.

“Coincidentally, Mr President, at this moment in history, the government at the centre is the one that also professes progressivism.
“Then as the foremost progressive party in Nigeria, APGA is strategically and ideologically aligned with the centre. And so far, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the progressives are working well together.”
