Factional Tension Rocks APC as Aggrieved Members Oppose Tinubu’s 2027 Ambition

Fresh cracks have emerged within Nigeria’s ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), as a faction of aggrieved members openly opposes the potential 2027 presidential bid of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The disgruntled bloc, drawn from various party stakeholders, is insisting that President Tinubu should not seek re-election in 2027. Instead, they are advocating for a power shift to Nigeria’s South-East region, arguing that fairness, equity, and national unity demand that the APC zones its presidential ticket to the region.

Speaking through a coalition of party leaders and youth representatives, the group emphasized that the South-East has long been marginalized in the country’s power dynamics and deserves a chance to produce the next president under the APC platform.

“We believe in the unity of Nigeria, and for that unity to be sustained, justice must prevail. The South-East has not had a fair shot at the presidency. The APC should correct this in 2027,” a spokesperson for the faction stated.

However, the proposal has reportedly met stiff resistance from President Tinubu and his loyalists within the party. Sources close to the presidency indicate that Tinubu is not inclined to step aside, maintaining that his administration still has a mandate to consolidate ongoing reforms and national development efforts.

Party insiders say the disagreement is already fueling internal consultations and quiet lobbying across different regions, raising concerns about a possible deepening of factional divisions within the APC ahead of the next general election cycle.

Political analysts warn that if not carefully managed, the growing rift could weaken the party’s cohesion and electoral strength. Some have called on the APC leadership to initiate early reconciliation talks to address grievances and prevent a full-blown internal crisis.

As 2027 draws closer, the unfolding power struggle within the APC is expected to shape Nigeria’s political landscape, with zoning, equity, and leadership continuity likely to dominate national discourse.

Tinubu is notorious threat to democracy and world peace

South East Apc .

The honest truth is, South East as a region has been omitted from our analysis on where to get the votes from

So those opposing the reelection of president Tinubu from South East should be aware that the whole region's votes is not expected. Stop forming yanga in what's not expected

We know where the votes are and we have been gunning for it since after the 2023 election

Is it not funny that anyone from South East can be making demand of Apc zoning the presidency to their region.

Please what's the stake of South East as a region in APC?

It's not only annoying but it's disrespectful to be making this kind of demand

Even some Governors will betray him
It’s a very hard task to convince your state to vote for APC 😂😂

Tinubu will not get APC 2027 presidential ticket because APC knows tinubu is very sick and too old and seek another APC member from south east to replace tinubu as APC presidential candidate for 2027 presidential election in Nigeria.

Tinubu have succeeded in disgracing APC and Yorubas before the public.
