The appointment of Uba Sani as Chairman of the All Progressives Congress Campaign Council for the forthcoming Ekiti State governorship election scheduled for June 20, 2026, is a deliberate and strategic decision anchored on competence, character, and proven political capacity.
Governor Uba Sani has distinguished himself as a leader with remarkable political acumen and democratic credentials. His style of governance reflects inclusiveness, pragmatism, and a strong connection with the grassroots, qualities that continue to strengthen party cohesion and inspire public confidence.
His ability to build consensus, manage complex political interests, and deliver impactful leadership has positioned him as a stabilising force within the APC Governors’ Forum.
The Ekiti governorship election is far more than a sub-national political contest; it is widely regarded as a major political indicator that could shape the momentum toward the 2027 general elections, including the presidential, governorship, National Assembly, and State Houses of Assembly polls.
It is therefore imperative for the party to entrust its campaign leadership to a tested and dependable figure with strategic depth and clarity of vision.
Under the reform-driven leadership of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress has continued to pursue policies aimed at national renewal, economic repositioning, and institutional strengthening across the country. The Ekiti election presents another opportunity for the party to consolidate its democratic gains and reaffirm its growing acceptance among Nigerians.
Governor Uba Sani’s appointment reflects the confidence reposed in his leadership ability and his capacity to mobilise support, coordinate an issue-based campaign, and deliver victory for the APC. His record in promoting unity, peace-building, and people-oriented governance makes him a fitting choice for such a critical national assignment.
With Governor Uba Sani at the helm of the campaign council, the APC is strategically positioned to secure a convincing mandate in Ekiti State and reinforce the party’s trajectory toward the 2027 general elections.
