APC Chairman Foresees More Governor Defections Ahead of 2027 Elections

APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, predicts more governors will defect to the ruling party before the 2027 elections. At an APC meeting in Yenagoa, President Bola Tinubu was endorsed, with Yilwatda highlighting Tinubu's leadership qualities.

Yilwatda cited recent defections of Delta State Governor and Akwa Ibom State Governor to APC as examples of a growing trend. He emphasized the party's focus on governance performance to secure overwhelming support in 2027, dismissing opposition criticism.

Yilwatda praised the South zone for rallying behind Tinubu, positioning APC as the dominant party in the upcoming election cycle.
