Abbas Tajudeen, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, has started encouraging former Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) members to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 elections by organizing them within the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The caucus is still unified and prepared to work for Tinubu’s reelection, according to Abbas, who joined the House in 2011 on the CPC platform. He called their support “unconditional.”

The Speaker made the commitment at a meeting with President Tinubu and other former CPC leaders at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday, according to his spokeswoman, Abdullahi Musa Krishi.

“On behalf of all CPC members, I assure you of our unconditional support. More than 90 per cent of those who played active roles in CPC are represented here”, he said.

In addition to supporting him, Abbas promised Tinubu that the group will launch a national campaign to rally support for his second term.

He clarified that this was the first time in many years that so many former CPC members had come together to publicly express their gratitude to Tinubu. At the meeting, he said, over 90 percent of CPC veterans were represented.

Abbas declared the establishment of a state, local government, ward, and polling unit level struture named Former CPC Members for Asiwaju to bolster their efforts and garner support from the ground up.

The Speaker also praised Tinubu for honoring the late President Muhammadu Buhari, the founder of the CPC, following his passing and for having played a significant part in his political career.

He added that other former members of the CPC are currently functioning as governors, ministers, and MPs, demonstrating the party’s influence in Tinubu’s administration.
