Abdullahi Ganduje, the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, or APC, announced Thursday in Abuja that more opposition governors will soon join the party when he formally received some leaders of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, in Kano State, led by Senator Kawu Ismailia, who represents Kano South.
According to The Intercept, Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and the PDP’s 2023 running mate, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, joined the ruling party on Wednesday, along with members of the state’s National Assembly and state assemblies and local government chairmen.
He stated: “The governor of Delta State is now in APC, including his cabinet, including all the members of the state assembly and House of Representatives, and the timber and calibre of PDP, now in APC, even including the former vice presidential candidate coming into our party.
“So you can see that we are expanding. I don’t want to reveal our secret, but what I’m telling you is that APC 2027 is a done deal.
“More governors are coming into APC. I assure you, and in places where we have elections, APC, insha Allah, will win those elections.”
