The All Progressives Congress, APC, is rapidly solidifying its influence across Nigeria, now reportedly controlling 32 of the country’s 36 states.
In the South-South, the APC has achieved a complete sweep in the oil-rich region, governing all six states: Delta, Akwa Ibom, Edo, Cross River, Rivers, and Bayelsa.
North-Central, the party also dominates this region, holding Benue, Niger, Kwara, Nasarawa, Kogi, and Plateau.
In the South-East, APC controls Enugu, Ebonyi, and Imo. Abia remains under the Labour Party (LP), while Anambra is governed by the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), giving APC three out of five states in the region.
In the South-West, the party governs Lagos, Ekiti, Ogun, and Ondo. Oyo remains under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Osun under the Accord Party, giving APC four of six states here.
In North-East, APC controls Borno, Yobe, Taraba, Gombe, Adamawa, and Bauchi.
Lastly, at the North-West, this region remains a stronghold, with Katsina, Jigawa, Sokoto, Kebbi, Kaduna, and Kano all under APC.
These figures indicates the APC now governs 32 out of Nigeria’s 36 states, further solidifying its national dominance.
