Crisis Looms in APC as Party Rejects Automatic Ticket Bid for Aspirants
- On Tuesday in Abuja, the All Progressives Congress rejected claims that it had secured guaranteed candidacies for all its National Assembly legislators in the upcoming 2027 elections.
- The denial followed speculation after a Presidential Villa meeting where party leaders endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term and rumors spread about a plan to secure lawmakers' returns.
- The spokesman for the APC dismissed the circulating reports as false and misleading, calling on both party members and the public to completely ignore them.
- President Tinubu jokingly told lawmakers, "Which means you are re-elected," during his 2025 budget presentation, fueling assumptions but no official ticket guarantees were confirmed.
- The APC's refutation suggests no confirmed automatic returns, and the party emphasized that managing legislative continuity involves dialogue without unilateral decisions on candidacies.
