Soludo Advocates Political Alliances, Backs Tinubu for 2027

Governor Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has urged the Igbo to overcome internal divisions and forge broader political alliances across Nigeria to effectively pursue presidential ambitions. He indicated that regional solidarity alone would not suffice, citing the coalition strategies of historical figures like Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and current President Bola Tinubu as models.

In an exclusive interview ahead of the 2027 elections, Soludo confirmed that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) would support Tinubu's re-election bid and would not field its own presidential candidate, aligning with the party's established practices. He communicated this decision directly to President Tinubu during a visit to Anambra, where several projects were commissioned.

Soludo's Chief Press Secretary, Mr Christian Aburime, addressed expectations for Anambra to support Peter Obi, stating that the two leaders belong to different parties with distinct ideologies. He emphasized that voters should evaluate parties based on their ability to improve lives rather than ethnic affiliations.
