APC Chieftain Yusuf Gagdi Confident of 2027 Victory
The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Navy, Hon. Yusuf Gagdi, has dismissed suggestions that only opposition politicians are strategising ahead of the 2027 general election. He insisted that he has never imagined the APC losing an election, stressing that the ruling party has maintained sustained political activities across the country, unlike the opposition.
Gagdi explained that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, lack the required political capacity to defeat President Bola Tinubu in the forthcoming election. He remarked, “I have never, in my political imagination, thought that my party, APC, would lose an election. What are the opposition doing? What are the opposition planning or doing? I have not seen, with the activities of the opposition, those you mentioned, Peter Obi or Atiku. I have not seen any effort being put in place by them to unseat or defeat the president come 2027.”
He added that political parties naturally prepare for elections, and it would be wrong to suggest that only opposition politicians are planning for 2027. Gagdi asked, “If you think they are planning, what makes you think that the APC is not planning to win elections? Are we sleeping? What planning are they doing?” He highlighted that APC’s activities over the past year in the four corners of Nigeria are ten times those of any opposition party, reinforcing his confidence in the party’s electoral prospects.
