The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially adopted President Bola Tinubu as its sole presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
The endorsement was announced on Thursday during the APC National Summit held in Abuja, where the party’s National Assembly Caucus and the Progressive Governors’ Forum declared their unanimous support for Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio, speaking at the summit, confirmed the party’s decision, citing what he described as Tinubu’s commendable performance in office.
Commenting on the development, President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, said the move followed a midterm performance review of the administration, which showed that the President had delivered significantly on his promises.
Bwala, speaking later on Channels Television’s Politics Today, said: “The APC leadership conducted a thorough assessment and agreed that President Tinubu deserves another term based on his achievements so far.”
He added that the initiative reflects a progressive shift in political accountability, noting that the President had earlier introduced performance indicators for ministers and had now subjected himself to similar evaluation.
According to Bwala, the party had been engaging in a broader review of its promises and manifesto to determine whether Tinubu had fulfilled enough of his commitments to warrant a second term.
