APC Screens Abbas, Kalu for 2027 Elections

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken a significant step towards the 2027 general elections by successfully screening key legislative leaders. Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, and Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, have both scaled the party's vetting process, signaling their readiness to contest.

This development mirrors the recent screening of Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau, indicating a unified approach by the APC leadership to secure nominations for the top legislative positions. The cheers from party officials and supporters upon Abbas and Kalu's arrival at the screening venue underscore the party's confidence and the perceived importance of these figures.

With the conclusion of this screening exercise, all presiding officers of the 10th National Assembly have now successfully navigated the APC's internal processes. This allows them to return to their legislative duties with the party's backing, focusing on their roles in leadership and governance while the political landscape for 2027 begins to take shape. The APC appears to be consolidating its position, ensuring its key players are aligned and prepared for the electoral challenges ahead.
