The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Okpokwu Local Government Area of Benue State, has dissociated itself from the endorsement of Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro, for a third term by the Itodo Boniface group of the party.
In a statement signed by the party’s acting chairman, Akor Simon, the party stated that Moro lacks the political legacy and relevance to win a third term.
The party described Moro as a failed Senator, adding that they are eagerly waiting to change the narrative in 2027.
Akor further stated that the purported APC group headed by Itodo Boniface, who allegedly endorsed Senator Moro, lacked the credibility and substance to issue such an unwarranted statement.
The LG party chairman used the opportunity to dismiss the unwarranted endorsement by the desperate politicians and called on all leaders, stakeholders, members, and supporters of the APC to remain calm, committed, and resolute in delivering all elective seats for the party.
Meanwhile, Moro has called for adherence to an unwritten peace accord that rotates the presidency between the Northern and Southern regions of Nigeria.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, the lawmaker insisted that the South should produce the president in the 2027 election, to complete the eight-year power rotation cycle.
Naija News reports that Moro highlighted the fallout of the PDP’s decision to field former Vice‑President Atiku Abubakar, a northerner, as its 2023 presidential candidate.
He warned that flouting the informal North–South zoning agreement would cost the party victory.
In 2023 … PDP picked Atiku Abubakar against the code of an unwritten agreement of North‑South presidency. It backfired. The majority of Nigerians … chose a southern candidate to fulfil the righteousness of the unwritten convention,” he said, referring to the electorate’s rejection of consecutive northern rule under Buhari–Atiku.
Moro said this unwritten pact envisioned the presidency alternating between Nigeria’s major regions.
He contended that with President Tinubu (a southerner) now completing one term, the South was entitled to hold the office until 2027 to comply with the two-term rotation.
Moro advised that any political parties contemplating fielding a northerner in 2027 risk the same mistake, losing popular support once again. Outlining the logic, he cautioned:
“The reasonable thing to do is: the South should produce the next president to complete eight years of the South, and automatically … Nigerians will be looking up to the North to produce the next president in 2031,” the PDP chieftain said.
Moro reminded viewers that the constitution limits presidents to two four-year terms and warned against any attempt to exceed that limit.
