Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule
Ahead of the 2027 general elections, defections move into various parties have been the Hallmark of the day as the Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, from the All Progressive Congress (APC) has hinted of more defection of top governors to the ruling party.
The governor spoke during an interview segment on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
He also dismissed claims of intimidation and witch-hunt leveled against the party.
His remarks come in the wake of a major opposition coalition meeting held on July 2 at the Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja, which saw leaders of various political blocs adopt African Democratic Congress, ADC, as a unified platform to challenge the APC in the next presidential election.
According to him, APC is actively strategising ahead of the 2027 general election in response to the emergence of a coalition formed by opposition leaders.
Governor Sule said, “You know, as they are planning, we are planning. We are in politics. We’re not just sitting down watching them plan. So, as they plan, we plan. And at the end of the day, the better plans will take over.
“We keep getting more and more governors from the PDP joining us. Very soon, you will hear another governor joining us. You hear every day about senators decamping and coming back to the APC every day. These are all part of the plans, they’re not happening just by magic.’’
While the ADC coalition has been hailed in some quarters as a potential game-changer, others have questioned its structure and sustainability, ahead of 2027 poll.
