The South-East leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has backed the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) position, urging all APC candidates to receive the party’s support in the 2027 general elections. The decision was announced in a joint statement signed by APC National Vice Chairman (South-East), Dr Ijeomah Arodiogbu, and other party officials. The move comes amid ongoing discussions about the party’s strategy for upcoming elections.

The endorsement of the PGF position reflects a growing alignment between state governors and national leadership on key political issues. The statement emphasized the importance of unity and collective support for all APC candidates. This stance is seen as a response to recent tensions within the party, particularly regarding the role of prominent figures like Nyesom Wike.

The 2027 elections are a critical moment for the APC, with several states holding gubernatorial races. The party’s decision to prioritize candidate support is expected to influence the political landscape in the region. The focus remains on maintaining party cohesion and ensuring a strong electoral campaign.

The political dynamics within the APC continue to evolve, with state leaders playing an increasingly active role in shaping national strategies. The 2027 elections will likely be a test of the party’s ability to balance regional interests with national goals.
