"All the APC governors are solidly behind Mr. President. To that extent, governors are expected to deliver their states," Uzodinma said.
He added:
"Not one of us are in total agreement, we are united. We are supporting Mr. President's re-election. We are supporting the success of the election."
Governors back presidential election council
Uzodinma said Tinubu formally informed the governors about the constitution of a presidential election council during the meeting, and they unanimously endorsed it.
"The upcoming election, the constitution of the presidential election council, which the president informed us officially, and we are in total agreement. What we have agreed with Mr. President is that he will be delivered," he said.
The declaration signals that the ruling party's gubernatorial bloc intends to present a coordinated front heading into the 2027 contest, with each governor taking responsibility for mobilising support within his own state.
Economic concerns Also top of agenda
Beyond electoral politics, Uzodinma said the governors also discussed the economic pressures facing ordinary Nigerians, identifying the cost of living as the most urgent domestic priority.
He outlined specific areas of concern, including transportation costs, food security, and agricultural productivity, adding that the governors want to ensure that the gains from the government's recent economic reforms reach the wider population.
"Reduce the cost of living in Nigeria — this is the cost of transportation, food security, agriculture — bring prosperity to the people, ensure that the dividends of the various reforms we have gotten over years trickles down to the people," Uzodinma said.
The remarks suggest that the governors view economic delivery as directly tied to their ability to win public support ahead of the election.
