The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has officially launched its nationwide election campaign with a high-profile flag-off ceremony in Awka, unveiling over 253 standard-bearers across the federation and adopting President Bola Tinubu as its official presidential flagbearer.\n<\/p>\n

Soludo, the National Leader of APGA and Governor of Anambra State, during the event on Friday, symbolically presented party flags to 44 candidates contesting legislative seats in the state.\n<\/p>\n

The Anambra flag recipients comprise three Senatorial candidates, 11 candidates for the House of Representatives, and 30 candidates for the State House of Assembly.\n<\/p>\n

The governor, addressing party faithful who travelled from across the country, stated that the decision to adopt President Tinubu aligns with APGA\u2019s identity as Nigeria\u2019s premier progressive party.\n<\/p>\n

He noted that progressive forces must unite to foster national development, drawing parallels to APGA\u2019s past endorsements of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011 and 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, as we unveil our campaign as the foremost progressive party in Nigeria, we are also officially adopting President Bola Tinubu as the presidential candidate of APGA,\u201d Soludo declared.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did it in 2011 and 2015 for President Jonathan. We are repeating it in 2027, because progressives are working together to support a President who loves Ndi Igbo and Ndi Anambra.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The Governor highlighted key federal infrastructure projects in the South East, including the dualization and rehabilitation of the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, among many other infrastructure projects, as concrete evidence of the administration\u2019s commitment to the region.\n<\/p>\n

He emphasised that politics must be anchored on tangible benefits, enlightened self-interest, and strategic voting bargains.\n<\/p>\n

Calling on candidates and party members to embark on door-to-door campaigns ahead of the polls on Jan. 16 and Feb. 6, 2027, the Governor assured the candidates that he would be actively campaigning alongside them in the field.<\/p>\n

He urged voters to make a clear distinction between reason and emotion, expressing confidence that APGA\u2019s grassroots strength will deliver victory.\n<\/p>\n

Sly Ezeokenwa, the APGA National Chairman, also speaking at the event, praised Soludo for conducting transparent and competitive party primaries in strict compliance with electoral laws.\n<\/p>\n

Ezeokenwa stated that the steady influx of new members into APGA is a direct testament to the Governor\u2019s people-oriented policies.\n<\/p>\n

Reaffirming that \u201cAnambra State remains APGA land,\u201d he expressed unwavering confidence that the party will secure a decisive mandate at the polls.\n<\/p>\n
