APC Says It Is Ready to Win 2027 Elections, Labels Atiku and Obi as ‘Shooting the Breeze’

The All Progressives Congress declared its full preparedness to clinch the 2027 general elections, while accusing opposition leaders Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of offering no substantive alternatives.

The [All Progressives Congress (APC)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Progressives_Congress) announced on Channels Television’s Politics Today that it is fully prepared to secure victory in Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, while accusing opposition leaders [Atiku Abubakar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atiku_Abubakar) and [Peter Obi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Obi) of merely “shooting the breeze” instead of presenting their own platforms.

**When did the APC make the statement?**

Morka made the comments on Wednesday in Abuja, shortly after the ruling party inaugurated its Presidential Campaign Council, saying the APC is leaving nothing to chance as it gears up for the next electoral contest.

**What record does the party claim?**

He noted that the party has won every bye‑election called since the 2023 general poll, attributing the streak to meticulous preparation and a refusal to rely on luck.

**How is the APC preparing?**

“*We prepare, we do our homework, we assemble our systems and launch massive campaigns – that is exactly what we are about to do,*” [Felix Morka](https://www.apc.org.ng) asserted.

**Is the preparation a sign of desperation?**

The spokesperson rejected claims that the groundwork signals desperation, insisting the APC is simply out‑preparing the opposition.

**What criticism was leveled at the opposition?**

He singled out Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, accusing them of focusing on perceived shortcomings of President Bola Tinubu’s administration rather than articulating their own policies, calling their remarks “shooting the breeze.”

**What is the party’s ultimate goal?**

Morka reiterated that the APC’s sole aim is to compete and win the 2027 election, emphasizing that the party will mind its own business.

**Does the public still support the APC?**

When asked whether Nigerians still back the APC, he pointed to the party’s control of the federal government and numerous states as evidence of continued popular endorsement.
