APGA’s support for Tinubu total – National chairman

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) on Wednesday said its support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration is total with no regrets.

Speaking while briefing reporters in Abuja, APGA National Chairman, Sly Ezeokenwa, explained that the decision is based on the performance of Tinubu.

The APGA national chairman said the President has shown full support for APGA in many ways.

Ezeokenwa said: “We have no reason not to support President Bola Tinubu. APGA is the foremost progressive party in Nigeria”.

The chairman further described support for Tinubu as consistent with the party’s tradition of forging alliances with ruling parties at the center.

He recalled that APGA backed former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011 and 2015, even when the party had the option of presenting its own candidates.

“We don’t owe any apology for supporting Mr. President’s economic reforms,” he stated. “Our goal has always been to advance progressive governance and ensure policies that leave no one behind.”

He further noted that APGA remains focused on consolidating its dominance in Anambra State, where it has held power for nearly two decades, and expressed confidence that Governor Charles Soludo would be re-elected in 2026.

On the recent by-elections in Anambra, the chairman praised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies for conducting what he called “one of the most transparent and credible elections in recent history,” while urging that those involved in isolated cases of violence and electoral malpractice be prosecuted.

“We want to counter the persistent falsehood, deliberate misinformation and baseless allegations” being spread by the APC governorship candidate in Anambra, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, and the party’s senatorial candidate, Hon. Azuka Okosa.

“Despite the infamous role he played in attempting to subvert the will of the people at the said election, Mr. Ukachukwu has volunteered himself as the chief purveyor of falsehood, all in a bid to discredit the excellent work of INEC officials and security agencies,” the chairman declared.
