National Chairman of the ruling Party, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has boasted that more governors will join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking at his residence in Abuja when he received former prominent members of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) from Kano State into the APC, he said 2027 was a done deal.
Among the former NNPP chieftains were Senator Kawu Sumaila and the immediate past Secretary to Kano State Government, Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi.
Ganduje said: “In APC, we believe in our President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we believe in his economic reforms, we believe in his Renewed Hope Agenda and part of the political renewed hope agenda is trying to canvass for more followership into the party.
“We started by democratically electing governors, especially in Edo State, who was in PDP, we contested, we succeeded in winning the election, the state is now in APC.
“Now, there is another channel that has been opened through advocacy, through dialogue, through convincing some highly and even elected governors to come into the party. And you can see what has happened now.
“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 caliber 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 for APC 2027 is a done deal.”
Asked to confirm the rumours of more Governors joining the APC, Ganduje answered: “Yes more governors are coming into APC, I assure you and places where we have election, APC insha’Allah will win those elections.”
