The Digest:

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has confirmed that its 2027 presidential ticket is open for contest, even as key party organs have publicly endorsed President Bola Tinubu.

Key Points:
  • The APC’s 2027 presidential ticket remains open to other aspirants.
  • This is despite President Tinubu's public endorsement by key party organs.
  • The National Organising Secretary, Suleiman Argungu, made this statement.
  • APC governors and zonal executives have all endorsed Tinubu for 2027.
  • The party convention grants an incumbent President the right of first refusal.
  • Argungu said the party will conduct an open and transparent exercise.
  • He attributed recent by-election victories to Nigerians' trust in the party.

The official position balances the party's widespread support for the incumbent with a claim of internal democracy.
