The political landscape in Nigeria is witnessing a transformative shift as more state governors are reportedly preparing to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), the nation’s ruling party.
Recently, the Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, captured national attention after announcing his departure from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the APC. His move has intensified political conversations and forecasts ahead of the anticipated 2027 general elections.
In a recent interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State confirmed that Governor Oborevwori’s defection is not an isolated case. He hinted that a number of other governors are also in advanced stages of negotiation and may soon declare their support for the APC.
Governor Sule noted that the increasing number of political defections is largely due to the visionary reforms and governance style of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. According to him, many political actors admire the president’s commitment to inclusion, stability, and reform. He stated that these qualities are drawing influential leaders from various political parties to the APC.
“During high-level meetings with President Tinubu, the energy among attendees is palpable. The governors feel a sense of appreciation and recognition that’s been missing elsewhere,” Governor Sule remarked.
Although the exact figure of governors expected to cross over remains uncertain, insider sources suggest a significant number of state leaders are contemplating the move. Political analysts believe that this trend could lead to a dramatic realignment in Nigeria’s party politics as the 2027 elections approach.
This ongoing political shift underscores the APC’s growing dominance and could potentially reshape power dynamics across the federation.
