Tinubu says more politicians are set to join APC, describing defections as survival from a “sinking ship.” The party’s grip ahead of 2027 is tightening.

  • President Tinubu expects more defections to the ruling APC.
  • At the APC summit, he likened the opposition to a sinking ship.
  • Rumours swirl around Akwa Ibom Governor Umo Eno possibly switching parties.
  • Eno reportedly told appointees: Join the APC or resign.
  • The defections reflect shifting loyalties ahead of the 2027 elections.
Tinubu’s message wasn’t just political—it was symbolic. Calling defectors “survivors,” he painted the APC as a life raft amid a collapsing opposition. It’s a clever frame: survival, not betrayal. For citizens, though, these defections often signal deal-making over ideology. As 2027 nears, the real question is whether voters still see a difference between the ships or just a race for power.

With 2027 in sight, is APC building strength—or just absorbing silence? Who’s next to jump ship?
