The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced plans to achieve greater success in the 2027 elections, signaling a renewed focus on political strategy. Meanwhile, in Zamfara State, an aspirant within the APC has filed a petition challenging the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) and security agencies over the formation of a committee. This dispute highlights growing internal tensions within the party’s state chapters.
Security in Akure has been heightened ahead of Vice President Kashim Shettima’s visit, with police increasing their presence to ensure stability. The visit is expected to address ongoing political dynamics within the APC. In Rivers State, Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s withdrawal from the APC governorship primary has been described as a significant setback, marking the end of an unsuccessful political challenge.
The APC’s national chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, has defended a N10 million reward offered to local leaders to support APC candidates in the 2027 elections. He rejected claims that the reward constitutes vote buying, emphasizing the party’s commitment to fair political engagement.
These developments reflect the complex internal landscape of the APC as it prepares for the 2027 elections. With multiple state chapters facing challenges, the party must navigate political rivalries and internal disputes to maintain cohesion. The upcoming elections will likely test the party’s ability to unify its members and maintain public support.
