The All Progressives Congress (APC) has submitted the names of its governorship candidates and their running mates for 27 states to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to party sources, only one state in the North-East is yet to conclude the process, with consultations ongoing over the choice of a deputy governorship candidate.
The matter is expected to be settled at a stakeholders’ meeting in Abuja before the submission deadline.
Among those whose names have been uploaded to the INEC portal are Senator Sharafadeen Alli for Oyo State, Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Yakubu Danladi Salihu, for Kwara State, former Executive Secretary of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF), Ahmed Tijani Galadima, for Adamawa State, and former Bauchi State Governor, Mohammed Abubakar, for Bauchi State.
The affected states witnessed some of the most closely contested APC primaries in the country.
