The All Progressives Congress (APC) is ramping up its strategy for the upcoming Ekiti election by appointing Uba Sani and Godswill Akpabio to lead its campaign council, signaling a determined push to secure victory on June 20, 2026. This leadership choice reflects the party’s commitment to harnessing experienced figures who can galvanize support in a state crucial for its political future.
Uba Sani, the Governor of Kaduna State, and Godswill Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom, bring significant political clout and grassroots connections to the table. Bamidele Opeyemi, a prominent party leader, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, “The election in Ekiti is pivotal for our national strategy, and we are confident that our team will unify the party and engage effectively with voters.”
As the APC prepares for an electoral battle in a state often viewed as a bellwether, the stakes are high. This campaign leadership is expected to leverage their extensive networks and political experience, with the potential to reshape the political landscape in Ekiti and beyond. Thus, the upcoming weeks will be critical in determining the party's trajectory in the region.
