The governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) cannot win elections in 2027.
The National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rauf Aregbesola, stated this during the launch of a book written by the spokesperson of the African Democratic Congress (ADC),
Aregbesola said if past elections were anything to go by, the assertion going on that APC is sure of victory in 2027 is not true.
He said what happened in the South East and even South West in the last election shows that governors don’t guarantee election victory.
Aregbesola said “there is this assertion going around which is worrisome, because those of us who are democrats, they said because 30 governors are supporting a party, and for that reason, that party is going to win the election.
“Recent statistics in Nigeria do not support this. But I want the members to know that the last election in this country, and the results from that election, never supports this particular belief.
“I will use the results from two zones. South West and South East to puncture this argument that governors define electoral victory for parties.”
Despite the overwhelming number of APC Governors in the South West in 2023, the former Information Minister asserted that the party got only 55 per cent of the votes.
