The All Progressives Congress national secretary Ajibola Basiru told politicians looking to win elections that the APC is the only viable platform for them ahead of the 2027 polls.
Basiru made the statement as the party continues to consolidate its position in Nigerian politics. The message appears designed to attract defectors from other parties and strengthen the APC's grip on power before the next general election.
The national secretary's push comes at a time when several political parties are jostling for relevance ahead of 2027. Basiru's claim that the APC is the only winning platform is a bid to position the ruling party as the inevitable choice for politicians with electoral ambitions.
The statement reflects the APC's confidence in its political machinery and organizational strength. For politicians currently outside the party, the message is clear: joining the APC increases the chances of winning elections in their respective constituencies or offices.
Ahead of the 2027 general election, the APC is expected to intensify efforts to woo politicians from opposition parties. Such recruitment drives have become standard practice as major parties position themselves for the contest.
