The All Progressives Congress (APC) has clarified that governors and other politicians who recently joined the party will not be automatically granted nomination tickets for the 2027 elections.
In a clear statement, the party emphasized that defection alone does not guarantee an election ticket, even for high-profile leaders.
All aspirants must participate in the APC’s primary election process and secure support through the party’s established democratic procedures.
The announcement comes amid growing speculation that several governors, including:
Siminalayi Fubara (Rivers State), Umo Eno (Akwa Ibom State), Agbu Kefas (Taraba State)
may seek the APC ticket ahead of the next general elections.
APC officials reiterated that the party’s constitution requires all aspirants to contest in primaries, and no one regardless of status will be exempt from the process.
This decision underscores the party’s commitment to internal democracy and fairness.
The APC also stated that the policy applies broadly, and even prominent political figures will have to earn their tickets through proper party mechanisms.
