As the 2027 National Assembly elections approach, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele has issued a stark warning to the Ekiti chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) against falling into internal divisions over party tickets. This call for unity comes amidst growing tensions within the party as members jostle for candidacy ahead of the critical primaries.
Bamidele emphasized the importance of solidarity, stating, “We must come together as a united front to ensure our success at the polls. Division will only weaken our chances.” His remarks reflect concerns that factional disputes could jeopardize the party’s electoral prospects in a state where APC has historically enjoyed significant support.
The political landscape in Ekiti is increasingly competitive, with the opposition also strategizing to capitalize on any discord within the ruling party. As the primaries draw near, the ability of the APC to present a cohesive front will be crucial not just for candidate selection but also for maintaining voter confidence. The coming months will be pivotal as the party navigates these challenges, and Bamidele’s plea for unity underscores the urgency of collective action.
