APGA Backs Tinubu for Igbo Presidency Ahead of 2027

Sly Ezeokenwa, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), stated in an interview that the Igbo presidency is unattainable without forming alliances with other regions in Nigeria. He highlighted the party's decision to support Bola Tinubu's presidency as a strategic move ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Ezeokenwa noted that APGA shares ideological similarities with the All Progressives Congress (APC), which Tinubu leads, particularly in terms of progressive governance. This alliance is seen as crucial for the Igbo people to have a significant political influence and representation in the upcoming elections.

The emphasis on collaboration underscores the challenges faced by the Igbo in achieving presidential aspirations without broader national support.
