Why We’re Backing Tinubu In 2027 – Former CPC Chiefs Reveal Shocking Reasons

The Forum of Former State Chairmen of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

In a statement issued on Sunday by its National Secretary, Sulaiman Oyaremi, the Forum emphasized its belief in the responsibility to back Tinubu and actively contribute to the ongoing transformation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) into a more inclusive political platform.

Oyaremi stated, “We believe it is our obligation to stand with the current party leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and to help reshape the APC into an inclusive institution where every stakeholder feels a sense of belonging and ownership.”

While acknowledging the right of individuals to either remain in or exit the APC, the Forum highlighted the internal challenges facing the defunct CPC bloc, including fragmented representation and insufficient inclusion in party and government structures.

“It is disheartening that members of the former CPC, particularly former state chairmen, have not received fair recognition in appointments or within the party’s leadership structures at both state and national levels, despite our contributions to the party’s electoral success,” the statement noted.

Addressing the recent wave of contradictory statements from different CPC factions, Oyaremi added, “Those who choose to stay or leave the APC are exercising their democratic rights, which we respect.”

“However,” he concluded, “the majority of us within the Forum remain resolute in our decision to stay with the APC, alongside our principal, former President Muhammadu Buhari, regardless of the actions of a few.”
