The ruling party is presently in control of Ebonyi and Imo while Anambra, Abia, and Enugu are ruled by the opposition.
A former Senate President, Senator Ameh Ebute has made a boast ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He claimed the election will be a walk in the park for All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ebute stated that the victory by the ruling party recorded in Saturday’s governorship election in Edo State and its giant strides in recent times proved that.
This was even as the National Chairman of the APC, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, disclosed that the party planned to replicate the template of Edo’s success story to capture the remaining opposition states in the South.
The ruling party is presently in control of Ebonyi and Imo while Anambra, Abia, and Enugu are ruled by the opposition.
Both men addressed newsmen during a solidarity visit by the North Central APC Elders Forum to the party leadership at its secretariat in Abuja.
The development comes a few hours after a Federal High Court struck out a suit filed against Ganduje and barely 24 hours after the APC’s victory in Edo State.
Ebute said, “Our national chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, has delivered on his promise that we are going to take over Edo State and add it to the states controlled by the APC. We do not doubt your ability to lead this party to a higher level.
“The second success that you recorded this morning is in winning the suit filed against you at the Federal High Court for your removal as the National Chairman. We are happy that the suit was struck out and that makes it a second victory you recorded in 24 hours. It is unbelievable.
“The North Central elders have come to congratulate you on recording these achievements. We made an undertaking that we are solidly behind you and will continue to support tour administration for taking our party, the APC to the next level.
“We do not doubt that with these steps you have taken, the 2027 election is going to be a walkover for all our candidates. We urge you to keep it up and pray to God to give you long life, good health, and the wherewithal to move the party forward.”
