Abuja, Nigeria – Members of the former Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) bloc within the All Progressives Congress (APC) have publicly declared their unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, dismissing recent speculation of their potential defection amid ongoing coalition talks.
In a statement released following a meeting in Abuja, key figures from the former CPC, including former Nasarawa State Governor, Tanko Al-Makura, and former Katsina State Governor, Bello Masari, reiterated their commitment to the APC and President Tinubu’s administration.
The statement addressed what they termed “misleading narratives” suggesting discontent and potential defection within the CPC bloc. They emphasized their continued dedication to the APC’s vision and leadership.
Key points from the statement include:
- Reaffirmation of Loyalty: The bloc explicitly stated that they have neither left the APC nor intend to do so.
- Endorsement of Tinubu’s Reforms: They expressed their full support for the economic and governance reforms being implemented by President Tinubu.
- Dismissal of Disunity Claims: The bloc condemned attempts to sow disunity within the party, asserting that such efforts do not reflect the stance of genuine CPC members.
- information from supporting sources shows that the CPC group see themselves as a vital part of the APC.
This declaration comes amidst ongoing political discussions and coalition developments within Nigeria. The CPC bloc’s public reaffirmation of their allegiance to President Tinubu aims to solidify their position within the APC and dispel any ambiguity regarding their commitment.
Further developments will be closely monitored as the political landscape evolves.
