Asaba, Delta state – Abdullahi Ganduje, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said the ruling party would work with Senator Ned Nwoko and other stakeholders to take over Delta in 2027.
Recall that Nwoko recently left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC.
The Punch on Thursday, February 6, quoted Ganduje as saying:
Furthermore, Ganduje stated that the country under President Bola Tinubu was working because his economic policies were purportedly beginning to yield positive results.
The APC helsman added:
On his part, Senator Nwoko said that his mission was to join forces with other APC Delta stakeholders to ensure that the party took over the state in 2027, Guardian newspaper noted.
The senator explained that he left the PDP for APC because he was not allowed to serve the people of his constituents.
Since Nigeria returned to democratic rule in 1999, Delta state has been governed by PDP administrations.
While Ganduje’s wish is doable, especially considering the APC is making inroads into the south-south and south-east geopolitical zones, the party must at least replicate the template it deployed to win Edo state in September 2024.
