N’Central APC hails Al-Makura for shunning anti-Tinubu coalition
The North-Central All Progressives Congress Forum has hailed members of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change led by a former Nasarawa State Governor, Tanko Al-Makura, for snubbing the coalition against President Bola Tinubu.
The forum made this known in a statement released on Thursday by its chairman, Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga.
The opposition coalition, led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is aimed at defeating Tinubu and the APC in the 2027 general elections.
Ahead of the 2027 polls, the coalition is currently mobilising key opposition politicians to form an alliance against Tibubu.
The CPC was among the parties that merged to form the APC, which had former President Muhammadu Buhari as the leader of the CPC before it became part of the APC.
There were speculations that the CPC bloc in the APC would join the coalition against being championed by Atiku and Nasir El-Rufai.
Reacting to the development on Thursday, the North-Central APC Forum noted that by shunning the opposition coalition, Al-Makura – from Nasarawa State – has shown that the North-Central is indeed for Tinubu and the APC.
The APC Forum stressed that the development has strengthened its confidence in actualising its pledge to deliver six million votes for Tinubu from the North-Central in the next election.
Parts of the statement said, “The North-Central APC Forum salutes the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) bloc led by former Nasarawa State Governor, Tanko Al-Makura, for snubbing the opposition coalition being formed against President Bola Tinubu and our great party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“By this singular act, Tanko Al-Makura has shown that he is a committed, loyal party man who believes strongly in the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu and the APC. He and his team have demonstrated loyalty to the party and to Mr. President and we wholeheartedly commend them for this exemplary conduct.
“By rejecting the opposition coalition, the Al-Makura-led CPC bloc has sent a message to Nigerians ahead of the 2027 election. The message, which is loud and clear, is that Nigerians should reject any attempt to derail the reforms and good work being done by President Bola Tinubu’s administration to turn the fortunes of the country around.
