APC governors have endorsed President Bola Tinubu as the party’s sole candidate for 2027, a move that shuts down internal contest and signals early consolidation of power.
- APC governors, led by Imo’s Hope Uzodimma, officially endorsed Tinubu at the party summit in Abuja.
- The motion was seconded by Kaduna’s Uba Sani, who praised Tinubu’s leadership.
- Governors were tasked with promoting federal policies and winning future elections in their states.
- This early endorsement aims to prevent intra-party friction ahead of 2027.
- A similar vote of confidence came earlier from the APC’s north-central bloc.
This is more than just a political endorsement — it’s a strategic move to lock in Tinubu’s second-term bid and prevent internal challenges from brewing. The message is clear: Tinubu is the party’s future, and the governors are expected to fall in line. But such unity, this early, raises questions about the space for dissent, and whether this closes off opportunities for fresh leadership or real debate within the APC.
Is APC’s early unity a strength or a sign that internal democracy is slipping?
