On Monday, former Senate President, Senator Ameh Ebute, stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s victory in the Edo State governorship election held on Saturday, along with its recent achievements, suggests that the party will have an easy path in the 2027 general elections.
Additionally, APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, revealed that the party intends to replicate the successful strategy used in Edo to gain control of the remaining opposition states in the South.
Currently, the APC governs Ebonyi and Imo, while opposition parties hold power in Anambra, Abia, and Enugu.

Both leaders made these remarks during a media briefing at the APC headquarters in Abuja, following a solidarity visit from the North Central APC Elders Forum.
The development occurred just hours after a Federal High Court dismissed a lawsuit against Ganduje, and less than 24 hours after the APC’s victory in the Edo State governorship election.
Ebute said, “Our national chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, has delivered on his promise that we are going to take over Edo State and add it to the states controlled by the APC. We do not doubt your ability to lead this party to a higher level.
“The second success that you recorded this morning is in winning the suit filed against you at the Federal High Court for your removal as the National Chairman. We are happy that the suit was struck out and that makes it a second victory you recorded in 24 hours. It is unbelievable.
“The North Central elders have come to congratulate you on recording these achievements. We made an undertaking that we are solidly behind you and will continue to support tour administration for taking our party, the APC to the next level.
“We do not doubt that with these steps you have taken, the 2027 election is going to be a walkover for all our candidates. We urge you to keep it up and pray to God to give you long life, good health, and the wherewithal to move the party forward.”
