A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has descended heavily on the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike; Bode George and some PDP Governors, accusing them of doing a hatchet job towards ensuring that President Bola Tinubu is re-elected in 2027.

Erstwhile Special Adviser on Political Matters in the Office of the Vice President, Hakeem Baba Ahmed, has urged President Bola Tinubu to ask him to “step aside (in 2027).

Cracks may be underway in the camp of the Governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori, following his defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC, from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The presidency has mocked former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar over the massive defection which has hit the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP). It said the coalition, being spearheaded by Atiku was bound to lose. This came after former Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, and his successor, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori dumped the PDP. Responding to the defection on X, the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, Bayo Onanuga, wrote that the coalition was bound to collapse. “Potential allies, including former running mate Ifeanyi Okowa and defunct CPC members, are giving his leprous group a wide berth. Atiku is a loser again,” he stated. Also, in his reaction on X, a presidential aide, Tunde Rahman said the future looked so bleak for Abubakar’s coalition. He wrote, "Today, he got his biggest shocker ever. His 2023 election running mate, former Delta State governor Ifeanyi Okowa, and Okowa’s successor, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, dumped the sinking PDP ship and hopped aboard the APC plane, and by inference, crossed over to the PBAT side. “Indeed, the counting of PDP governors crossing over to APC has begun. Isn’t Atiku’s coalition dead on arrival? As my people will say, the glimpses of a Saturday that will be good will manifest from Friday."

Former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike has mocked ex-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, over the defection of his then running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa. This came after Okowa, in a shocking decision, moved to the ALl Progressives Congress, APC, alongside his successor. In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, Wike, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, said he has now been vindicated. He said; “It is another endorsement of the president’s good governance and commitment to the development of the country.” He added, “I commend Dr Okowa and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for this heart-warming decision, which must have been informed by good governance and commitment of President Bola Tinubu to the oneness and development of Nigeria. “That is what I have always told people to come out and say, not when they have problems and begin to run up and down. “They have come out at the right time to show support for the President so that the people of Niger Delta can benefit more from the government, and I commend them. “I am particularly happy that what I saw before the 2023 presidential election, others are now seeing and are joining the Renewed Hope train.” He called on other Nigerians to follow suit and declare their support for Tinubu.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe has claimed that all the people of Southern Nigeria will back President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. He spoke amid ongoing massive defection of politicians into the All Progressives Congress, APC. The latest was the governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori and his predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa, who have both dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the APC. At least three other Southern governors are expected to join soon. In a post on his Facebook page, the APC chieftain claimed that even states controlled by the opposition parties will support the APC during the election. "No one single state in Southern Nigeria, no matter the party it belongs to, will vote for any other party except APC in 2027. "Please know this and have inner peace. It is what it is", he wrote.
