PDP Has No Chance in 2027, Says Former APC Treasurer
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has firmly dismissed opposition claims that it will implode after its forthcoming national convention, describing the projections as misguided and politically motivated.

The party said the narrative was being driven by rivals seeking relevance amid their own internal disarray and electoral uncertainty ahead of the next political cycle.

Lagos State APC Spokesman, Mr Seye Oladejo, made the remarks in a statement issued on Sunday, insisting the ruling party remained united and forward-looking.

“Lagos APC has noted with amusement recent opposition claims predicting an ‘implosion’ ahead of our national convention.

“Such projections are misplaced. They amount to wishful thinking by a fragmented opposition projecting its own failures onto a united APC,” Oladejo said.

He stated that the APC’s conventions historically served as platforms for renewal, reconciliation and consolidation rather than arenas of crisis.

“It strengthened our database, enhanced transparency and set the stage for a purposeful, well-organised national convention,” he added.

The spokesman noted that while the APC was consolidating structures, opposition parties remained weakened by leadership disputes and persistent defections.
