We’re Taking Over Nigeria!” – Tinubu’s Minister Declares As More PDP Governors Plan Defection Nigerinas React To It

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has revealed that several opposition governors are in talks to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Idris made the disclosure on Wednesday during the 2025 Quarterly Strategy Meeting of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) for Information Commissioners from APC-governed states, held at the Government House Multipurpose Hall in Maiduguri, Borno State.

The two-day event, themed “FGN–PGF Synergy 2025: One Message, One Future,” aimed to strengthen coordination between the federal and state governments toward a unified communication strategy.

In his remarks, Idris expressed confidence that the APC would control 30 states by 2026 and predicted a smooth re-election for President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

He attributed the growing wave of defections to the success of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which he said has promoted inclusive governance, implemented effective economic reforms, and contributed to stabilizing the naira.

He stated, “At present, our great party, the APC, governs 24 states. With the number of opposition governors showing interest in joining us, I can confidently say that by 2026, we’ll have 30 APC-controlled states as we move toward re-electing President Tinubu for a second term.”
