2027 Bombshell: Presidency Reveals Why Tinubu Was Unanimously Endorsed by APC

The Presidency has explained that the All Progressives Congress (APC) endorsed President Bola Tinubu as its sole presidential candidate for the 2027 election following a midterm evaluation of his performance.

This endorsement came after both the APC National Assembly Caucus and the Progressive Governors’ Forum declared support for Tinubu’s re-election bid, citing his achievements since assuming office.

Speaking at the APC National Summit in Abuja, Senate President Godswill Akpabio formally announced the party’s decision to adopt Tinubu as its sole candidate.

Also commenting during an appearance on Politics Today on Channels Television, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, stated that the party leadership conducted a detailed assessment of Tinubu’s progress and concluded he deserved a second term.

Bwala said:

“This was a well-organized internal review process. APC, as a progressive party, broke the norm by reviewing its promises and comparing them with actual performance. The president even introduced performance indicators for his ministers, showing his commitment to accountability.”

He emphasized that President Tinubu willingly submitted himself for evaluation—something Bwala described as a sign of his development-driven leadership.

He added that the decision was purely internal and represented the party’s united direction:

“It was a party affair. The leadership evaluated our promises and current achievements across sectors like infrastructure, security, and economic reform. Based on that, we concluded that President Tinubu has earned the right to seek a second term.”

Bwala also addressed economic challenges Tinubu inherited, noting:

“When the President assumed office, the economy was in crisis—states were struggling to pay salaries, the naira was unstable. Today, many states are clearing debts, executing projects, and meeting wage obligations thanks to increased federal revenue driven by Tinubu’s reforms.”

He concluded by saying that while the government acknowledges it hasn’t solved every issue, the president’s first two years clearly show he deserves the continued support of both the party and the nation.
