Ahead of the 2027 general election, the Governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have declared that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and other opposition parties are no match for APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Chairman of the APC Governors Forum, Senator Hope Uzodinma, made this declaration after inspecting the ICT/Data Centre at the APC national secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday, under the auspices of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), preparatory to a forthcoming electronic registration of members.
Accompanied by his Kogi state counterpart, Governor Usman Ododo, the Imo state governor said there are only two political parties in Nigeria: APC and others.
Asked about his take on the ADC’s claim that having the APC government after the 2027 election would be disastrous, Uzodinma said, “You called it a claim. It is their claim, not our claim.
“I know there are only two parties in Nigeria, the All Progressive Congress and others.”
On their mission to the party’s national headquarters, he said: “We came to monitor and evaluate the extent of the e-registration exercise and what has been done. We have inspected and conducted a trip around the facilities and are highly impressed with what we saw. We are also confident that our e-registration exercise will start in full force at any moment now.”
Expressing APC governors’ support to the new party’s national chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, the former lawmaker representing Imo West senatorial district said, “Look at him, this handsome, tall man, full of energy and intelligence.
“I think our party is very excited and happy with the choice of our new National Chairman, and we are confident that this is what we are looking for.”
Also speaking, Yilwatda, who conducted the governor’s tour of the facility, said the APC is a leading party by far compared to any other political party, and it is deepening technology while maintaining dominance in all ramifications.
“When it comes to APC, we are exemplary and you can see it in the way we conducted ourselves in the NEC, you can see how the Governors are relating with the party, you can see how the members are relating with the party, how we have made this party attractive to the people, attractive to the nation, attractive also to the Governors.
“So we are deepening our relationship every day and on this illustration, we are a leading party by far compared to any other political party and we want to ensure that we deepen technology, we ensure that we lead in all respects, in all ramifications and technology is one aspect that we are doing, so that we are leading also in that same respect, ensuring that we know the number of people are part of our political party.
“We can know people who will vote for us, predict the number of people supporting us, and deepen our base in each state. We are doing this; it will help us research, deepen technology, and help our relationship support our members at all levels,” he said.
On his part, Governor Ododo pledged the loyalty and support of the APC Governors to President Bola Tinubu, the national chairman and the party machinery to always succeed at electoral contests.
