APC Claims PDP, APGA, Accord Party Back Tinubu's 2027 Bid

The All Progressives Congress (APC) stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), and Accord Party have expressed support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election campaign for the 2027 general elections. This announcement was made by APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda on October 20, 2026, during a briefing with State House correspondents following a meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the State House.

Yilwatda indicated that all opposition parties, except the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), are aligned with the ruling party. He did not specify whether this support involved formal endorsements from the national leaderships of these parties or was based on individual members' actions.

Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, accompanied Yilwatda and stated that the campaign would focus on the achievements of the Tinubu administration rather than personal attacks against opponents. The formal launch of the campaign is scheduled for October 24, 2026.
