Sly Ezeokenwa, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has disclosed the reason for the party’s alliance with President Bola Tinubu in anticipation of the 2027 general elections.

Ezeokenwa stated in an interview on Arise Television on Monday that without a national alliance, an Igbo presidency is unattainable.

He believes the party requires some form of alliance, as an Igbo man cannot achieve the presidency alone without support from individuals either from the North or the Western region.

He mentioned that APGA and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) share the same ideology of ‘Progressivism’.

“Political parties have what we call ideologies. If you go to the manifesto of APGA, you will see the ideology of APGA as a political party, and our ideology primarily, is founded on progressivism, which is the ideology that we share with the APC.

“Now we are saying that if you look at the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu, look at the manifesto of APGA and look at the manifesto of APC, one thing is common.

“What we share in common is the progressivism that we all profess, that at the end of the day, the most important thing is that we entrench progressive ideologies that is going to better the lot of Nigerians.

“Now, what we are going to do as a political party is that we align with Mr President, because we believe that based on the coalition or the accord that came into force before 1999 when we say that there is rotational presidency eight years for the North, eight years for the South,” he said.
