Some aggrieved governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have quietly begun discussions with former vice president Atiku Abubakar, signaling potential shifts in the party's political strategy ahead of the 2027 elections. These talks come as internal divisions within the APC continue to grow, with some members feeling overlooked in recent leadership decisions.
Governors who lost in the party’s recent internal elections have expressed concerns over their political futures, prompting them to explore alternative alliances. Atiku, who previously served as vice president, remains a prominent figure within the party and is seen by some as a potential candidate for future leadership.
The move has sparked speculation about the stability of the APC ahead of the upcoming elections. While no formal alliances have been announced, the increased communication between these governors and Atiku suggests a possible realignment within the party.
Leaders in Ogun and other states have also initiated reconciliation efforts, aiming to mend relationships and prevent further fragmentation. These steps highlight the ongoing challenges the APC faces in maintaining unity ahead of the 2027 electoral cycle.
