The endorsement was moved by the forum chairman, Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, and seconded by Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, signaling strong unity among the party’s governors in support of Tinubu’s bid for a second term.

The summit was themed Renewed Hope Agenda: The Journey So Far.

Uzodimma moved the motion for Tinubu’s adoption as the APC’s sole candidate, which was seconded by the PGF Vice Chairman, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State.

The motion was put to a voice vote and adopted with a standing ovation by summit participants, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, members of the National Assembly, serving and former governors, and APC members from across Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

This development follows a similar endorsement by the Northwest APC faction just five days earlier, signalling growing intra-party consensus behind Tinubu’s bid for a second term.
