Calabar, Cross River – The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared its intent to dominate the political landscape of Cross River North in the 2027 general elections, setting its sights on capturing both the Senatorial and House of Representatives seats.

Speaking at a party gathering, APC leaders expressed confidence in dethroning the opposition and securing a stronger presence in the region. They attributed their optimism to the party’s growing influence and what they described as the failure of current representatives to meet the people’s expectations.

APC’s Strategy for 2027

🔹 Grassroots Mobilization: Strengthening party structures at the ward and local government levels
🔹 Candidate Selection: Fielding strong, popular candidates to challenge the incumbents
🔹 Performance-Based Campaign: Highlighting APC’s achievements at the state and federal levels

Opposition Reacts

The current holders of the seats, mainly from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), have dismissed APC’s claims, insisting that the electorate remains loyal to them. A PDP spokesperson described APC’s ambitions as wishful thinking, stating that Cross River North will remain in PDP’s control due to its deep-rooted support in the region.

Political Tensions Rising

With both parties gearing up for an intense battle in 2027, political analysts predict a highly competitive race in Cross River North, as voters weigh performance, party loyalty, and promises for the future.

Will APC’s confidence translate into electoral success, or will PDP maintain its hold? The road to 2027 is already heating up.
