2027: Tinubu tightens grip on S-East, S-South in gale of defections
LAGOS — THE gale of defections from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, especially from the South-South and South-East geo-political zones, may have given President Bola Tinubu an advantage, ahead of the 2027 elections.
The latest defections of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, his predecessor, Senator Ifeanyi Okokwa and other PDP stakeholders in the state have equally set the tone for Tinubu’s gradual takeover of the South-South.
The APC controls three of the six states of the Niger Delta, while it is in charge of two of the five South-East states.
