The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River State has been warned by Senator John Owan Enoh, Minister of State for Industry, to avoid repeating its poor performance in the 2023 local government elections. Enoh emphasized the need for the party to improve its strategies and ensure better results in the upcoming 2027 elections.
The warning comes as the APC faces scrutiny over its electoral performance in previous years. Enoh highlighted the importance of a strong campaign and effective candidate selection to secure victories in all 18 local government areas. The APC’s current leadership is under pressure to address internal challenges and enhance its grassroots mobilization.
This call for improvement follows recent discussions on the party’s structure and electoral strategies. In other parts of the country, the APC has been involved in political maneuvering, including the strategic shift of some governors to the party. These moves are seen as part of broader efforts to strengthen the party’s position ahead of the 2027 elections.
The 2027 elections are expected to be a key moment for the APC, with several states seeing heightened political activity. The party’s ability to maintain its momentum will depend on its capacity to address internal issues and deliver on its campaign promises. The Cross River warning serves as a reminder of the stakes involved in the upcoming electoral cycle.
