.....APC governors may meet Ganduje after Sallah

......I will follow party’s decision – Uzodimma

.....Party mum as ex-minister in Buhari’s cabinet dumps APC

There is simmering unease within the All Progressives Congress (APC) over automatic tickets for the party’s National Assembly ahead of the 2027 general election.

It was learnt that some APC governors oppose the automatic ticket plan and may have concluded plans to frustrate the arrangement.

A governor from the South East and his counterpart from the South West are leading the move to stop automatic tickets for National Assembly in their states.

The governors might discuss the issue with the APC national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, in Abuja shortly after the Sallah celebration.

It was further gathered that while some governors are indifferent to the offer, others are said to be cautious about opposing it because it enjoys the president’s backing.

The chairman of the APC governors and Imo State governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, told LEADERSHIP yesterday that he will abide by the party’s position on the matter.

The chief press secretary to the governor, Hon. Oguwike Nwachuku, stressed that Uzodimma, as a loyal party man, “will follow the party’s decision in respect of automatic ticket to lawmakers.”

He, however, underscored that he spoke for Uzodimma and not for other APC governors.

Attempts to get the APC national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, to react to the issue were unsuccessful, as calls and messages sent to him were not replied to.

LEADERSHIP had exclusively reported plans from the Villa to offer APC lawmakers automatic tickets ahead of the 2027 election. The offer was to ensure stability within the party and reduce the likelihood of legal issues that would arise while conducting the party’s primaries.

However, the APC national chairman, Ganduje, at the gathering of party leaders from the North Central geopolitical zone, where they endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term, said,

“We should continue to thank our legislators for their … why are we having high turnover of our legislators after four years? Can that encourage institutional memory? If we cannot do it by law, we can do it by advocacy.

“So, it is the responsibility of the party to dialogue with the leadership of the National Assembly so that those legislators who are very active, who are movers, to see how they can come back,” he said.

However, a source within the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), who pleaded anonymity, told LEADERSHIP that two South West governors do not stopping automatic tickets for National Assembly .

At a gathering shortly after the APC summit, which endorsed Tinubu for a second term at the Villa, the governors told some of their colleagues that the President decided to give automatic tickets to the National Assembly and should not be challenged by any governor.

“Most of the governors are adamant. They are even threatening a showdown over this. A governor from the South West and the South East is pushing this agenda. They have successfully recruited a few APC governors, especially those who inherited elected lawmakers and became governors through off-season polls, into their agenda.

“But two other South West governors made it clear that they are not part of the agenda. They feared that since the President’s decision to give automatic tickets to National Assembly may have come for strategic reasons, the governors should refrain from challenging it,” the source revealed.

According to sources within the ruling party, the move to grant automatic tickets to the President and National Assembly is seen as part of the President’s firm grip on party structures nationwide and to forestall situations whereby rookies dominate the National Assembly and create trouble.

It was learnt that the automatic ticket idea was designed to prevent possible litigation and loopholes that aggrieved could use to stifle the party’s preparations for the 2027 election cycle.

A party source added that the idea was behind the recent defection of former opposition lawmakers in the National Assembly to the ruling APC.

Meanwhile, ripples of automatic tickets are beginning to emerge, as an APC chieftain in Ondo State and an ex-Niger Delta agitator have threatened to fund opposition platforms if the President insists on granting automatic tickets to National Assembly in the state.

At the weekend, it was gathered that the party chieftain vowed to sponsor candidates against the senator and House of Representatives member from his federal constituency if the idea of an automatic ticket was not jettisoned.

This would eventually lead to outburst and disintegration of APC. Not even dictatorial tendency of Tinubu.
In his second term as president, people would not be doing boyboy as they are doing now, since they know his reign would soon expire.

Funny

These f00ls are still concerned about 2027 general election. They are not bothered with the present situation and condition of the country.
By the time everything scattered and destroyed, everyone kpai, let's see who they will be rulling over as leaders

They never learned from GEJ, Tinubu knows the endorsements are booboo yaya.

Party of commotion.
Gathering of evil minded people who don't have regard and remorse for the masses.
Tueh i pour you all spit.

From Democracy to Deception: How APC is Castrating Internal Democracy Under the Guise of Stability.

Once upon a time, Nigeria sat down at the table of history and agreed, however imperfectly, that democracy was the path forward. The ability to choose, contest, and be elected was not just a formality. It was supposed to be sacred.

Today, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is mocking that sacred covenant by proposing automatic tickets for its lawmakers, in a move so brazenly authoritarian it may as well come with military boots.

• Democracy thrives on choice — when candidates are imposed via backdoor agreements, the people no longer choose, they receive orders.
• Automatic tickets disenfranchise other aspirants — talented, younger or more qualified party are essentially barred from contesting through fiat.
• This is political rigging wearing agbada.
• Just like the geo-political rotation charade, which became a way of sharing power among oligarchs rather than enabling real representation, this auto-ticket culture is a democracy by scheme.
• If elections are merely ceremonial because the party has “decided”, then how are we different from the military regimes of yore? Just with better-tailored uniforms and bigger SUVs?

Harsh Truth for APC Governors and Tinubu’s Circle:

This isn’t governance.
This is political juju, ritualized loyalty masquerading as strategy. When you silence competition within your own party, you don’t create unity.
You create a cult, ruled by a grandmaster, not a leader.

If this continues, APC will no longer be a political party.
It will be a fraternity of incumbents, enforcing power through exclusion, not legitimacy.

The very oxygen of democracy is the right to contest.
Denying that right, even within a party, is a form of democratic genocide.

if you fear your lawmakers/Governors can’t win a primary, maybe they shouldn’t be in office at all.

What happens to those defecting

The war looming in APC is caused by greed and selfish interest. Let's see how they survive this internal war

Will God answer the prayers of long-suffering Nigerians who have endured 10 years of APC shege that was fraudulently sold as change, when ebilokan ensured that southerner Jonathan became one term president so that he can install clueless northerner Buhari?

Will God answer our prayers so that Akpabio stops mocking our hunger and starvation suffering

Ticket to further milk the country dry.

Okay

What of those that defected from other parties to APC, will they get automatic tickets ahead of those who have been in APC all these while?
