The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has said more governors will dump their parties and join the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Yilwatda, represented by the Deputy National Chairman (South), Chief Emma Eneukwu, spoke on Tuesday at the 12th Expanded Stakeholders’ Meeting of the Bayelsa State chapter of the party in Yenagoa, where the APC formally endorsed Tinubu as its sole presidential candidate for 2027.
He said Tinubu’s governance style and performance had continued to attract defections from opposition figures, adding that more senators and House of Representatives members were also joining the ruling party.
It would be recalled that Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the APC to back the President’s re-election.
