APC Governors Review Primaries, Set To Meet Yilwatda Ahead Of 2027 Polls

Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have reviewed the outcome of the party’s recent primaries and resolved to meet with the APC National Chairman, Netanwe Yilwatda, and other party leaders.

The resolution was reached at a meeting of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, which ended in the early hours of Tuesday in Abuja.

The Chairman of the forum and Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, disclosed this while addressing journalists after the meeting.

The Progressive Governors’ Forum is the umbrella body of all serving APC governors.

Uzodimma said the governors reviewed the outcome of the party’s primaries across the country, the recent Ekiti governorship election and various by-elections in which, according to him, the APC performed strongly.

He said the forum also discussed the need to address challenges affecting Nigeria’s democratic space and improve the welfare of citizens.

“We have resolved to work towards solving the problems and challenges facing our democratic space and ensuring that our people are better off,” he said.

Uzodimma added that the governors would meet with the party leadership to begin preparations for the 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections.

“We also resolved to meet with the leadership of the party to plan the coming 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections. We are ready and good to go,” he said.

The PGF chairman said the forum would continue to work with the APC leadership to support and strengthen the party ahead of future elections.

The meeting was attended by governors of Ekiti, Zamfara, Taraba, Lagos, Sokoto, Kano, Kaduna, Gombe, Kebbi, Akwa Ibom and Borno states, among others.

The governors said their focus remained on strengthening the ruling party and ensuring that its policies deliver better outcomes for Nigerians.
