The All Progressives Congress (APC) has formally endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as its sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election.
The announcement was made on Thursday by the get together’s Nationwide Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, throughout the APC Nationwide Summit held on the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
“Because the chairman of the get together and on behalf of the Nationwide Working Committee – the one recognised platform, I consider, legally, to discipline a candidate in any election – I hereby affirm the varied endorsements and declare President Bola Tinubu as the only presidential candidate of the APC,” Ganduje declared.

The endorsement comes amid rising expressions of help for President Tinubu from key organs of the get together, together with the Progressive Governors Discussion board (PGF), which earlier pledged to ship electoral victory for the President in 2027.
Thursday’s summit, which drew prime get together figures together with governors, federal ministers, lawmakers, and political strategists, was seen as a present of unity and power inside the APC because it prepares for the subsequent basic elections.
With this formal declaration, President Tinubu turns into the primary main get together candidate to be publicly affirmed for the 2027 race, a transfer observers say might discourage inner opposition and fast-track early marketing campaign planning.
