Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo, has declared his support for the re-election of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, stating that he has no regrets about his position.
Soludo made the remarks on Thursday during a live television interview in Awka monitored by DECENCY GLOBAL NEWS, where he described the President as a friend and trusted ally, while advising other presidential hopefuls to reconsider their ambitions.
He also disclosed that the All Progressives Grand Alliance would not field a presidential candidate in 2027.
“Tinubu is my friend, and I want him to win a second term. I am unapologetic about that,” he said.
The governor noted that the stance aligns with the party’s position in the 2023 elections, when APGA did not present a presidential candidate but supported the All Progressives Congress flagbearer.
According to him, the decision should not be viewed as anti-party activity but as a strategic collaboration aimed at promoting governance and development.
Soludo, a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, said his administration has maintained a strong working relationship with the federal government, adding that the President has been supportive of Anambra State since assuming office in 2023.
He explained that APGA’s priority remains strengthening its influence at the state and regional levels while backing a presidential candidate it considers capable of delivering at the national level.
However, his position has reportedly sparked quiet concerns among some party members in the state, who fear it could generate political tension within the party’s ranks.
