The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has declared that the ruling party will dislodge the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State during the 2027 general elections.
Ganduje made the comment on Wednesday at the APC national secretariat in Abuja while officially receiving Senator Ned Nwoko, who defected from the PDP to the APC.
A formal letter announcing Senator Nwoko’s defection was read on the floor of the Senate by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Welcoming the Delta North Senator, Ganduje stated that all three senators from Delta State are now in the APC, positioning the party for a strong challenge in the next election.
“You are most welcome, distinguished Senator Nwoko. Our great party is the most nationalistic party, committed to national integration, unity, and prosperity,” Ganduje said.
He credited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership for driving the party’s appeal, citing economic and security improvements.
“So the country is working. This is our party. We believe in internal democracy, and we know our chapter in Delta will implement this principle,” he added.
Ganduje expressed confidence in the APC’s chances of taking over Delta, stressing the need for grassroots mobilization and a well-structured party organization
