APC Risks Implosion Ahead of 2027 Elections, Warns Senator

Senator Abubakar Yusuf, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has issued a warning to President Bola Tinubu regarding the reliance on APC governors in the lead-up to the 2027 elections. He argues that the party lacks genuine popular voter support and cautions that the absence of free and fair primaries could lead to significant intra-party crises.

Yusuf emphasizes that the APC's claim of winning the 2027 presidential election is unfounded if the current administration's performance does not warrant such confidence. He notes that without credible opposition, the party may face challenges, and any minor issues could exacerbate internal conflicts.

Yusuf insists that the automatic ticket system could alienate many within the party, stressing the importance of allowing free and fair elections to test popular support. He concludes by asserting that the party must address these issues to avoid an inevitable implosion.
