The national working committee of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has congratulated Governor Chukwuma Soludo, over his appointment as the Anambra State coordinator of President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 presidential campaign council.

The APGA spokesperson, Ejimofor Opara, in a statement on Tuesday, said Mr Soludo’s inclusion followed the consensus adoption of Mr Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress as APGA’s candidate after the party’s resolution not to field any presidential candidate for 2027.

Mr Okpara said, “The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) heartily congratulates our National Leader and Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, on his well-deserved appointment as the Anambra State Coordinator of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu 2027 Presidential Campaign Council.

“This appointment is a testament to Governor Soludo’s exemplary leadership, his uncommon commitment to progressive ideals, and his consistent advocacy for a strategic partnership between APGA and the Federal Government for the collective good of Ndi Anambra and Ndigbo at large.

“As a party, APGA has made its position clear. At our National Executive Committee meeting and during Mr. President’s working visit to Anambra on May 8, 2025, we formally adopted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as our consensus Presidential Candidate for the 2027 general election. In line with this resolution, APGA did not field a presidential candidate for the 2027 election.

“Governor Soludo’s mantra that “Progressives are Working Together” is not just a slogan, but a statement of historical truth. APGA, as the first truly progressive party in Nigeria, shares ideological DNA with the progressive movement at the centre. This synergy has already yielded tangible dividends for Anambra State, including federal collaboration on critical infrastructural interventions and economic development enablers. 

“While APGA remains firmly in control of Anambra State, our position remains; In Anambra, it is Tinubu for President, APGA for Senate, House of Representatives, and State House of Assembly.”

The party expressed confidence that Mr Soludo would bring his intellectual depth, organisational capacity, and wide acceptability across the South-East to galvanise massive support for Mr Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

“Indeed, Progressives are Working Together! Congratulations to Oluatuegwu Anambra, and to all of us in APGA!” He added.
