APC Will Triumph Even If Peter Obi Runs In 2027” – Udeh-Okoye Declares

A former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Sunday Udeh-Okoye, has forecast a landslide victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 presidential election.

Okoye, who recently defected from the PDP to the APC, asserted that the ruling party would win in Enugu State, even if Peter Obi contests as a candidate for another party. He noted that Obi’s victory in Enugu during the 2023 presidential election was largely because the APC lacked a strong structure in the state at the time.

“In the next election, it will be a landslide for the APC in Enugu,” he declared.

When asked whether the APC could triumph in Enugu if Peter Obi is on the ballot, Udeh-Okoye confidently said the party would win regardless of the candidate.

He emphasized that the APC now fully controls Enugu State, making it impossible for any other party to secure victory there:

“Those who won elections before, when we were not in APC, are now all in the party. No matter who any other party fields, I assure you, the APC will win in Enugu State,” he stressed.

Udeh-Okoye also rejected claims that the Southeast would not vote for the APC, attributing the region’s past reluctance to the perceived attitude of former President Muhammadu Buhari toward the area.

Additionally, he hinted that another Southeast governor is expected to join the APC soon. When asked which of the two remaining non-APC states in the Southeast would follow suit, he replied:
