Nigeria: APC Governors Adopt Tinubu As Party's Sole Candidate in 2027
- Nigeria's All Progressives Congress governors unanimously endorsed President Bola Tinubu as their sole 2027 presidential candidate at a summit in Abuja on May 22, 2025.
- This endorsement followed Tinubu's contentious 2023 election victory, upheld by courts despite rival claims of voter fraud, and coincided with his approaching second inauguration anniversary.
- The party praised Tinubu's economic reforms, including fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate liberalization, which attracted IMF support but caused inflation to rise to 33.7%, fueling public frustration.
- Governors under the Progressive Governors Forum, led by Hope Uzodimma who moved the endorsement motion, expressed confidence in Tinubu's leadership, stating it has "set Nigeria on a transformative path."
- The APC's unified backing suggests a stable platform for Tinubu's re-election amid a fragmented opposition and ongoing domestic challenges, with the party aiming to maintain power in future polls.
