APC Faces Internal Struggles Ahead of 2027 Elections

The All Progressives Congress (APC) is facing significant internal conflicts in Ogun, Lagos, and Delta as the party prepares for the 2027 general elections. The recent national convention highlighted the party's unity, but attention has shifted to state-level primaries where rivalries are intensifying.

Notably, Adeola, also known as Yayi, is actively mobilizing grassroots support in Ogun West for the governorship race, with backing from the Senate leadership. However, there is unease among the political elite in the Egba and Ijebu zones regarding Adeola's rise.

Governor Abiodun is reportedly supporting alternative candidates, and discussions about potential successors are underway, with names like Bola Tinubu's son emerging. The APC's internal dynamics are further complicated by defections and the reshaping of party hierarchies, which could significantly impact electoral strategies leading up to the 2027 elections.
