Abdullahi Ganduje, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has vowed that the party will take over Rivers state government house in 2027.
He made this promise on Saturday, December 14, while inaugurating Chief Tony Okocha and 22 others as executive members of APC in Rivers state.
Ganduje, who visited Port Harcourt alongside 16 members of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party, charged APC members to do everything within their power to ensure the party wins the governorship election in 2027.
The APC chairman said the South South zone which is predominantly Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is gradually falling, with APC taking control of Cross River and Edo.
As reported by Daily Trust, Ganduje noted that Rivers is the next state being targeted to fall for APC in 2027 governorship election.
