APC Vice Chairman Mustapha Salihu dismisses Goodluck Jonathan and Peter Obi as 2027 threats, calling PDP “technically non-existent

The Goodluck Jonathan Peter Obi 2027 chances have been dismissed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Vice Chairman (North-East), Comrade Mustapha Salihu, who described the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as “technically non-existent.”

Speaking on Arise News on Sunday, Salihu argued that neither former President Jonathan nor ex-Labour Party presidential candidate Obi possessed the political structure or capacity to challenge the APC in the next general election.

“Jonathan is a gentleman and a patriotic Nigerian, but when it comes to performance, the difference between his six years and President Tinubu’s two years is clear,” Salihu said, adding that Tinubu had taken “courageous decisions” to stabilise security and economic sectors.

He claimed that those pushing for Jonathan’s return to the PDP were motivated by personal gain rather than national interest. “Some of them were part of his government and want to rule the country by proxy. Nigerians will not subscribe to that,” he stated.

Turning to Obi, Salihu said the former Anambra governor had squandered his post-2023 momentum. “Obi had a near revolution in 2023 with massive youth support, but after losing, he abandoned his governorship candidates.

If he had supported them, he could have had at least seven governors today as a launchpad,” he argued, adding that Obi now “lacks the structure” to win a presidential election in Nigeria.

Salihu insisted the APC remains the most formidable political force in the country. “We are not panicking or shaking.

We have the structure, leadership ability, achievements, and organisational capacity to prosecute an election any day, any time. No party in Nigeria today can match the APC,” he declared.

Any Ambition Against Senator Nwoko’s Second Term Bid Is Selfish, Unnecessary —APC Chieftain

Published

By

As Senator Ned Nwoko positions for a return to the National Assembly, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Emmanuel Eboh, has described any opposing ambition as self- serving, unnecessary  and detrimental to the peace and development of Delta North Senatorial District.

Speaking in an interview in Abuja, Chief Eboh, a former civil commissioner in Delta State, said Senator Nwoko continues to enjoy widespread goodwill and the support of the people of Delta North, popularly known as Anioma.

While acknowledging that political aspirations are legitimate in a democratic setting, Eboh cautioned against what he termed the “unacceptable drift towards turning politics into a family enterprise and a tool for power control and manipulation.”

He called on residents of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency and the wider Delta North district to resist  “the inordinate ambition of some Shylock politicians driven by selfish motives and unrestrained personal interests.”

The APC stalwart warned that personality-driven ambitions, rather than people-oriented leadership, could
lead to  avoidable rivalry and division within Delta North.

Chief Eboh maintained that Senator Nwoko’s performance in office has been commendable and deserving of re-election, citing key interventions in rural road construction, electrification, education, potable water supply, and empowerment programmes.

He further highlighted the senator’s sustained advocacy for the recognition and identity of Anioma, noting that it was “unprecedented in the political history of the district”.

According to him, “Senator Nwoko has not only met expectations but surpassed them. He deserves re-election, particularly given the fact that the core constitutional responsibility of a senator is lawmaking for the good governance of the nation.”

Eboh said the people of Delta North regard Nwoko as a progressive leader who embodies unity and dignity across Anioma, stressing that he should not be distracted by unnecessary political contestation.

He reaffirmed that the senator’s commitment to the growth and development of Anioma remains unwavering and urged constituents to sustain their support for his return to the Senate.

The APC chieftain also called for continued backing of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
