2027: APC threatens to sanction members

The Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress said on Wednesday that it is not yet time to discuss the 2027 governorship candidacy for the state.

The party has equally threatened to wield its big sticks on any members of the party who fail to abide by its rules and directives.

The ruling party, in a statement released by its publicity secretary, Mr Tunde Oladunjoye, disclosed this while reacting to a media report indicating that stakeholders of the party had opted for the candidacy of an Egba-born former two-term federal lawmaker for the 2027 race.

The party, however, said, “For the avoidance of doubt and with all sense of responsibility, the issue of the candidacy for the 2027 governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not on the table of the party and its leaders for now.

“The present preoccupation of the party is to support our performing governor and leader of the party in the state, Prince Dapo Abiodun, in executing his unfolding legacy projects, which will certainly boost the standing of our party at the next general elections.

“While members have the right to project their preferred aspirants, we must be wary of misinformation that may heat up the polity and create needless rumours and rancour.

“It is needless to remind members that the party has the established structure and procedure to apply the big sticks for those who overstep their bounds.”
