The National Movement for Tinubu-Shettima 2027 — Forward Nigeria – has hailed the timely inauguration of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC) by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a significant step in preparations for the 2027 general election.
According to a statement by National Chairman Prof. Rufai Ahmed Alkali, Thursday in Abuja, the inauguration provided a coordinated framework for political engagement and grassroots mobilisation.
Prof Alkali said the inauguration reaffirmed the importance of unity, discipline and sustained attention to governance as the country approaches another electoral cycle.
The statement read in part, “The Movement commends President Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum and Governor of Imo state, Hope Uzodimma, and all other party leaders and stakeholders for the various roles they played in the inauguration and their undisputed commitment to nationwide mobilisation for the presidential election.
“We note, of particular importance is President Tinubu’s emphasis that electoral preparations would not distract his administration from its constitutional responsibilities. This statesmanly position reinforces the principle that governance must remain a continuing priority, even as political parties organise for the forthcoming elections.
“The movement further notes with interest the involvement and participation of prominent political leaders from other political platforms at the inauguration, including the Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who reportedly delivered goodwill messages in support of the President’s re-election bid.
“Their participation highlights the significance of political engagement that extends beyond traditional political party boundaries and creates opportunities for dialogue and cooperation among leaders with different political affiliations. This is a rare and unique bipartisanship in the service of the nation.
“The movement believes that constructive engagement across the political spectrum would greatly contribute to a broader national conversation on governance, economic development and democratic stability.
“Such engagement need not diminish the legitimate status of the various political tendencies; rather, it can encourage dialogue on shared national priorities and the country’s long-term interests.
“The emergence of cross-party engagement around the 2027 electoral process also underscores the importance of building political relationships through dialogue, accomodation, compromise and a shared commitment to Nigeria’s future,” the statement said.
