Months after the presidential primary election of the All Progressives Congress which produced Bola Tinubu as its flag bearer, other APC aspirants have declare their total support for the administration.
Some of the APC presidential aspirants in the last election are former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Ahmad Sani Yarima, Chief Rotimi Amaechi, Dr Nicolas Felix, and Dr Kayode Fayemi.
Others are Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, Gov. Yahaya Bello, Engr. Dave Umahi, Chief Ogbonnaya Onu, Senators Ahmad Lawan and Godswill Akpabio.
This was contained in a statement by convener and acting chairman of the forum, Senator Yarima as well as APC’s youngest presidential presidential aspirant, Dr Nicholas Felix, on Saturday.
According to the statement, all former aspirants of the APC have also dropped their presidential ambition ahead of the 2027 elections.
It added that those who were earlier nursing a presidential ambition ahead of 2027 have agreed to support President Tinubu for a second term in office.
“Because we are committed to the success of President Tinubu and his administration, all members who hitherto had Presidential aspirations have all agreed to drop such even ahead of 2027 so as to pave a smooth sail for President Tinubu to seek a second tenure. This project we are already working on and will leave no stone unturned.
“This forum will also take steps to see how to reach out to Presidential candidates of all other political parties for a harmonious working relationship in the interest of the development of the country as we believe that electioneering periods are over and it is time for all hands to be on deck,” the statement added.
The group has also planned a dinner scheduled for next week to convey their message to President Tinubu.
