Why it matters
This highlights the early political maneuvering and rhetoric between Nigeria's major political parties ahead of the next election cycle.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed its readiness and preparedness to win the 2027 general elections, accusing opposition figures such as Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of simply “shooting the breeze” instead of speaking for themselves.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today, while responding to questions about the party’s preparations for the next general elections, shortly after the inauguration of the ruling party’s Presidential Campaign Council on Wednesday, in Abuja.
Morka said the APC was leaving nothing to chance as it prepared for another electoral contest, adding that the party had won bye-elections since the last general elections.
“Virtually all elections that has been called, bye-elections, whatever election, since the last general elections, we’ve won fantastically. There is a reason for that. It is because we prepare, we do not take anything or leave anything to chance,” he said.
