The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday told party members wishing to vie for its presidential ticket in 2027 to go ahead despite the endorsement of President Bola Tinubu for a second term.
The party’s National Secretary, Sulaiman Argungu, stated this during an interactive session with journalists at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
The APC National Working Committee (NWC), state governors, National Assembly, and other stakeholders had earlier this year endorsed the President for another term in office in 2027.
At the forum, Argungu said Tinubu’s endorsement at all levels of the APC leadership was in recognition of his performance in the last two years.
He, however, stressed that APC would not stop other interested persons from the presidential primary in 2026.

Argungun said: “We will definitely not close our doors on other presidential aspirants. When the time comes, our timetable will be made known.
“Anybody who wants to aspire for the presidency under the APC will not be denied the opportunity to purchase the expression of interest and nomination forms to exercise their franchise.
“We never said we had locked the door. We are only telling people that we appreciate what the president is doing for the people of the country and that he deserves a second term in office when we roundly endorsed him recently.”
