LunagisthubAPC Opens Door to Other Presidential Aspirants Despite Tinubu Endorsement
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has made it clear that its presidential ticket for the 2027 elections is open to all interested members, despite the widespread endorsement of President Bola Tinubu for a second term. APC’s National Organising Secretary, Sulaiman Argungu, stated that the party would not deny any aspirant the chance to contest against Tinubu in the primaries.
Argungu emphasized that the APC is committed to democratic principles and would allow all interested members to purchase expression of interest and nomination forms to exercise their franchise. He noted that the party’s endorsement of Tinubu’s re-election bid is a recognition of his outstanding performance, but it doesn’t mean that the door is closed to other aspirants.
The party’s confidence in its performance was evident in its recent by-elections, where it won 13 out of 16 contested seats. Argungu attributed the victory to the dedication of the party’s leaders, members, and supporters nationwide, as well as the trust that Nigerians have in the APC.
The APC’s position sends a clear message to aspirants that they can explore their options and participate in the primary elections without any restrictions. With this development, the party’s presidential ticket is set to be highly competitive, and aspirants will have to convince delegates to support their bids.
What do you think about the APC’s decision to keep its presidential ticket open to all aspirants? How will this affect the party’s chances in the 2027 elections?
