APC’s Yoruba and Northern Leaders Back Igbo Presidency for 2027

In a historic turn, top Yoruba and Northern figures in the All Progressives Congress have publicly called for the 2027 presidency to go to an Igbo candidate from the South-East. They stress the nominee must be a bona fide APC member. This move aims to bridge long-standing regional divides and promote internal party loyalty. Many see it as a bid to correct decades of Igbo exclusion from the nation’s highest office. Political analysts believe this united demand could reshape the APC’s zoning discussions and force strategic consensus-building in the South-East. The challenge now lies in rallying multiple aspirants behind a single APC standard-bearer. If the party embraces this call with genuine reforms, it could mark a new chapter in Nigeria’s democratic power rotation and national cohesion.
