2027: APC hands Otu Automatic Ticket

5

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River has handed Governor Bassey Otu and his deputy, Mr Peter Odey, an automatic ticket ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The party’s Chairman, Mr Alphonsus Eba, speaking at the APC Secretariat in Calabar, urged other party members aspiring for political positions to begin their consultations.

Eba clarified that apart from the governor and his deputy, no other individual had been given an automatic ticket by the party.

He encouraged other aspirants to return to their constituents and seek their support ahead of the elections.

“The State Working Committee and the State Executive Committee of APC met today and resolved that Governor Otu will be the party’s sole candidate in 2027,” he said.

He explained that the decision was based on the principle of continuity, stating, “Nobody changes a winning team. The governor and his deputy will fly the party’s flag in 2027.”

He added that even if Otu was reluctant to run, the party would still present only one ticket with his name, as was done in 2022.

“We appeal to him to listen to the desires of party members and accept the nomination,” Eba stated.
