2027: Group Calls for Truce Between PGF, Wike Over Tinubu's Bid

A political pressure group, the Jagaban Apex Alliance (JAA), has called on the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), led by Gov. Hope Uzodinma, and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to set aside their differences and work together toward President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027.

The PGF had recently kicked against Wike's "Rainbow Coalition" political initiative, warning that it could weaken the ranks of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

JAA's Director-General, Mr Harry Ajentekebia, said in Abuja on Wednesday that both parties needed to close ranks to secure Tinubu's second term.

Reiterating the importance of re-electing the president in 2027, Ajentekebia urged the APC governors and Wike to resolve their disagreements and work in tandem for the president's benefit.

"All I have to say is this: the PGF and Wike must deliberately create room for peace, understanding and genuine collaboration. The singular task before us is the successful re-election of President Bola Tinubu, come January 2027," he said.

He warned that public spats of this nature, if left unchecked, could embolden political opponents working against Tinubu's re-election, adding that such missteps must be firmly and decisively addressed by the APC leadership and by the president himself.

The JAA leader appealed to all APC state governors and party leadership across the 36 states and the FCT to keep partnering with and supporting the push for Tinubu's re-election.

He described JAA as the only verifiable, organic grassroots force committed to delivering victory for President Tinubu and all APC candidates in 2027, urging its members to continue working relentlessly toward that goal.
