APGA's Ezeokenwa Backs Tinubu for 2027 Election

Sly Ezeokenwa, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), asserted that the Southeast must support President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027 to restore its political significance in Nigeria. Speaking on ARISE News, Ezeokenwa argued that aligning with Tinubu and forming alliances with other geopolitical zones is essential for the Southeast to enhance its prospects of producing a Nigerian president.

He emphasized that the South should be allowed to complete its four-year tenure through Tinubu, whom he believes is the best candidate for the region at this time. Ezeokenwa acknowledged the presence of a notable APGA member running for the presidency but maintained that the party's endorsement of Tinubu is politically prudent.

He also referenced the unwritten power-sharing agreement established by the PDP since 1999, advocating for the South to retain the presidency for another four years through Tinubu rather than disrupt the existing arrangement.
