2027: APC already has plans to win - Ganduje boasts

All Progressives Congress (APC) has boasted that it already has the plans to win the 2027 presidential polls 

According to it, the ruling party is not worried over the recent moves by the opposition parties to form a coalition and the recent visits to former president Muhammmadu Buhari by notable figures in both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP).

APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, who gave the hint while addressing newsmen shortly after leading a delegation of APC stakeholders to Buhari’s Kaduna residence, described the visit by the opposition parties to Buhari as an attempt at repeating history.

Ganduje explained that part of the plans by the ruling party is to expand beyond the 21 states it currently governs.

The APC Chairman added that the party in no distance time will receive some state governors and political heavyweights will join the party ahead of 2027 general polls.

He, however, silence on details of other strategic plans by the party to counter the moves by the opposition parties ahead of the polls.

“That visit is of no concern to us. It’s just another attempt at repeating history, but it won’t work. What they are trying to build is not viable. Some particles simply cannot come together,” he said.

“We are not worried at all. We came to pay our respects to the former president and also to update him on the achievements of our great party since his departure. We assured him that we would continue to keep him informed regularly,” Ganduje said.

“We won’t disclose our intricacies or technicalities, but we are equal to the task. The progress President Tinubu has made is strengthening the party even further,” he stated.

“Some governors may join us, or we may defeat them at the polls. Either way, we are expanding our reach. We’re comfortable with where we are, but we are not resting on our oars.”

"Bigwigs from other parties are joining us. The few who left don’t matter in the bigger picture,” he added.
