APC Begs One of Its Governors To Accept Automatic Ticket for 2nd Term The Cross River State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has granted Governor Bassey Otu and his deputy, Peter Odey, an automatic ticket for the 2027 General Election
The Round Table announces that this was made known on Monday by the APC State Chairman, Alphonsus Eba.
Eba implored other party members aspiring for political positions to commence their consultations, announcing that apart from the governor and his deputy, no other individual had been given an automatic ticket by the party.
According to him, other aspirants should return to their constituents and seek their encouragement ahead of the elections.
“The State Working Committee and the State Executive Committee of APC met today and resolved that Governor Otu will be the party’s sole candidate in 2027,” he reported.
“Nobody varies a winning team. The governor and his deputy will fly the party’s flag in 2027.”
The APC chairman annexed that even if Otu was reluctant to run, the party would yet present only one ticket with his name, as was done in 2022.
“We appeal to him to listen to the desires of party members and accept the nomination,” Eba reported.
He likewise commended the deputy governor, currently acting as governor, for backing President Bola Tinubu’s actions in Rivers.
Eba noted that more or less individuals had misrepresented the state’s position. He applauded the acting governor for explaining that South-South governors had not consulted him before challenging Tinubu’s decision.
He commended the President for restoring peace in Rivers, preventing a political confrontation.
