The former Kano governor revealed the APC now controls 22 states with another governorship defection imminent, teasing: “One more governor is on the way.” He cited recent off-cycle election victories as proof of the party’s momentum ahead of 2027 polls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio and all 22 APC governors attended the strategy summit, signaling unified support for Tinubu’s second-term ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
