The All Progressives Congress (APC) South-South zone, following its zonal stakeholders meeting on Saturday, has unanimously resolved to adopt President Bola Tinubu as the zone’s sole presidential candidate for the 2027 presidential election. In a bold move, the party also endorsed its four incumbent governors in the South-South as sole candidates for the 2027 governorship elections in their respective states.
The four governors benefiting from this decisive resolution include Governor Bassey Edet of Cross River State, who also serves as the South-South APC Coordinator, and Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State. Significantly, the list also features the governors of Delta and Akwa Ibom States, Sheriff Oborevwori and Umo Bassey Eno, respectively, both of whom recently defected to the APC from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) just a few months ago.
The communique outlining these resolutions was read by Chief Victor Giadom, APC National Vice Chairman, South-South. The motion for its adoption was swiftly moved by the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Professor Julius Ihonvbere, and seconded by the Senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. The momentous meeting was presided over by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
