APC Rules Out Automatic Tickets for Defecting Governors Ahead of 2027 Elections
The APC has announced that defecting governors will not receive automatic tickets for the 2027 elections, affecting prominent figures like Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State and Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State. The decision signals a shift in the party's approach, with even influential members like Bola Tinubu not guaranteed automatic tickets.
Opposition parties, including PDP and NNPP, criticize the move as self-serving. Former APC members like Ini Ememobong and Oladipo Johnson dismiss the defections as driven by fear of re-election, predicting disappointment for the defectors.
The move aims to uphold democratic principles within the party.
