The decision by President Bola Tinubu to anchor the All Progressives Congress 2027 election campaigns on the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, instead of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, is seen as what is to give the party victory in the region, Wale Igbintade writes.
Beyond the noise, it can be seen clearly that President Bola Tinubu’s decision to anchor the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 election campaigns on Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, instead of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Benjamin Kalu, is a grand master stroke.
Informed analysts, who have taken time to study the politics of Tinubu over the years, agree with his close associates that he is very strategic. This attribute is today being played out as the president made the difficult choice of the political leader in the Southeast zone that he would anchor his campaign on ahead of the 2027 general elections.
