Senate Leader declares APC in control of structure, support base

The Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, said on Friday the All Progressives Congress (APC) remains firmly in control of its structure and support base ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Bamidele stated this in Ado-Ekiti during a meeting with party stakeholders from Ekiti Central Senatorial District.

The Senate leader, who is representing Ekiti Senatorial District, urged party members to remain steadfast and committed.

He stressed the need for effective internal management.

According to him, APC members should guard against disloyalty and alliance with opposition parties because such moves are akin to giving the opposition ammunition to exploit for recruitment.

He said: “Internal dissatisfaction among members can create opportunities for opposition parties to make inroads. Opposition groups are keenly observing for any signs of division that can be exploited for recruitment.

“The opposition are a group of people who are still finding their bearings and stability, scattered and without clear focus and direction.

“Opposition parties such as the African Democratic Congress (ADC), is a relatively new political party actively seeking to expand its membership base nationwide,” Bamidele stated.

He also said for the upcoming party primaries, all aspirants would participate in the process, regardless of whether they emerge through consensus or direct primaries.

“The country’s electoral framework provides for two modes of candidate selection, consensus and direct primaries. Even candidates who secure consensus endorsements must undergo a formal affirmation process,” he concluded.
