Scoop on Soludo and Tinubu's Meeting
According to our sources, Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State boldly assured President Bola Tinubu during his visit on Thursday that APGA would adopt him as their presidential candidate in 2027[1][2].
Okorie's Displeased Response
However, APGA's National Chairman, Chekwas Okorie, voiced his disapproval in a media briefing, claiming that Soludo overstepped his bounds by making such a monumental commitment on the party's behalf[3].
Okorie stated, "Prof. Soludo, as the governor of Anambra State, was at liberty to showcase his accomplishments at such a prestigious event. But, he overreached himself when he assured the President that APGA would adopt him for the 2027 presidential election."
A Party's History of Deceit
Okorie went on to discuss previous instances where APGA governors have misrepresented the party for personal gain. He mentioned former Commissioner Enemali joining the APC and Rochas Okorocha's false claim that APGA joined the APC merger in 2013[3].
Lack of Representation
Okorie emphasized that Soludo lacks the authority to make such a commitment on APGA's behalf[3].
