5 Outgoing APC Governors Turn Eyes To Senate

All Progressives Congress (APC)

The political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections is currently undergoing significant realignment as five outgoing governors on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC have formally joined the race for Senate seats.

The governors recently submitted their expressions of interest and nomination forms ahead of the party’s senatorial primaries slated for May 18.

Of the eight APC governors expected to complete their second terms in May 2027, the five who have entered the senatorial contest are Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa, Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa, Babagana Zulum of Borno, Mai Mala Buni of Yobe and Dapo Abiodun of Ogun.

In Adamawa and Yobe, the path to the Senate appears relatively smooth for the two governors, with incumbent lawmakers stepping aside in their favour.

WOW.
