The Forum for State Chairmen of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change (CPC) has denied claims that it has thrown its weight behind former vice president Atiku Abubakar’s 2027 presidential bid.
In a statement signed by its national chairman, Kasim Mabo, and national secretary, Sulaiman Oyaremi, the group said recent reports suggesting their endorsement were misleading.
They explained that only a small number of former CPC chairmen visited Atiku recently, but that visit did not represent the position of the entire forum.
“Out of 37 members, just 16 have pledged allegiance to the former vice president,” the statement said.
“The remaining 20 are firmly committed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu’s administration.”
