APC leaders convened in Maiduguri to prioritize President Tinubu’s re-election campaign, marking a key moment in the party’s preparations for the 2027 elections. The meeting, attended by senior figures, underscores the party’s focus on consolidating support ahead of the upcoming polls. However, internal tensions persist, with legal challenges and factional disputes complicating the party’s cohesion.
In Ogun State, a former governorship aspirant, Abayomi Hunye, has filed a lawsuit against Senator Solomon Adeola, challenging the validity of past electoral documents. This legal action adds to the growing internal strife within the APC, raising concerns about the party’s ability to maintain unity ahead of the elections. Meanwhile, in Ebonyi, former governor David Umahi has dismissed rumors of a potential alliance with the Rainbow Coalition, reaffirming the state’s commitment to the APC.
Political tensions also emerged in Zamfara, where Governor Dauda Lawal has urged Nyesom Wike to either join the APC or withdraw from supporting Tinubu’s re-election bid. Such statements highlight the competitive nature of the political landscape and the challenges the APC faces in maintaining a united front. As the party moves forward, the balance between internal cohesion and external competition will be crucial in shaping its electoral strategy.
