APC Reacts Amid Jonathan’s 2027 Posters in Kano

News Update

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has disassociated itself from Team New Nigeria (TNN), a self-proclaimed splinter group that recently plastered Kano streets with campaign posters of former President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2027 presidential race.

The ruling party emphasized that TNN is not affiliated with the APC and that its members are unknown within the party’s structure.

This statement follows TNN’s announcement five days earlier of its decision to break away from the APC to form a new political party. The group’s National President, Modibbo Farakwai, had claimed that the movement was targeting 26 million voters nationwide.

On Thursday, posters featuring Jonathan’s image and slogans promoting his 2027 candidacy appeared across Kano, sparking speculation about the former president’s potential return to politics.

Responding to the development, APC Deputy National Organising Secretary Nze Chidi Duru dismissed any ties between the party and TNN, describing the group as “amorphous” and lacking credibility.

“The printing and promotion of Jonathan’s campaign posters, despite knowing he is not a member of the APC, further confirm that TNN has no roots in our party,” Duru stated. “If they were genuine APC members, they would know that former President Goodluck Jonathan is not part of our fold.”
