Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, Akwa Ibom State Governor Pastor Umo Eno, and several other prominent politicians outside the All Progressives Congress have reportedly aligned with the ruling party in support of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The development, if confirmed, would mark a significant shift in the country’s political alignments, bringing figures from opposition-leaning parties into the orbit of the ruling APC. Governors Soludo and Umo Eno were elected on the APGA and PDP platforms respectively, making any formal alignment with the APC politically notable.

Supporters of the move are likely to frame it as evidence of growing confidence in the Tinubu administration, while critics will question whether such alignments reflect genuine conviction or political calculation.

The exact nature of the alignment — whether formal defection, endorsement, or informal cooperation — has not been clearly established, and no authoritative statement from the governors’ offices has been confirmed in this report.
