If you follow the gossip in Ebonyi, one thing don clear: 2027 governorship race no longer dey talk, e don start now. APC don start tightening structure around Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, while ADC and opposition parties dey rush to form one big coalition to “crash” APC in 2027. But for the bush, the real story don fall to one question:
“Who APC really book for 2027, and who ADC really fit control?”
APC Chairman in Ebonyi, Stanley Okoro Emegha, still dey talk say only “performers” go get party ticket for 2027, but everybody for the bush sabi say Nwifuru don be the main performer. Different youth groups – Ezze North, Izzi elites, Lagos indigenes and others – don dey hold rallies, marches and declarations to support Nwifuru for second term. Some people dey whisper say:
“APC no dey talk say Nwifuru anointed, but dem dey do everything like Nwifuru anointed. If you no see the name, you go see the movement.”
Even kings and elders dey join the drama. Monarchs from Edda dey ask Nwifuru to zone the House of Representatives seat to Edda in the next election, using the moment to demand that APC balance years of “perceived neglect.” For many, this na dey show say APC dey already planning 2027 map, even when leaders still dey mouth: “no zoning war, no anointing.”
On the other side of the ring, ADC been don start the “big coalition story”. PDP, LP, SDP, APGA, YPP and some defecting APC members don gather under ADC platform and swear say 2027 go be the year APC domination dey fall in Ebonyi. ADC leaders dey come out and talk say na ADC go be the main opposition vehicle, that na ADC dey “unite” all the people wey no carry for APC.
But the gossip inside ADC don catch fire. Different factions dey war, some members dey finger former governor Martin Elechi camp and say “dem dey try lead the party from back,” while others dey shout say no be like say. Some people dey ask:
“How ADC go unseat APC when even ADC don start war already? Na small party wey dey carry big coalition, but inside don dey fire.”
Youth story don also split. Some youth wings, especially in the south and east, don join Tinubu‑aligned groups like South East Renewed Hope Agenda (SERHA); dem dey march for Tinubu and at the same time dey support Nwifuru, sabi say if Tinubu fit rule again, APC governors go need to back him.
But in places like Afikpo North, another youth group dey shout say “no fit give our vote again to long‑time politicians wey no carry light come our area.” Dem dey beg for “new faces, new ideas,” and some dey ask:
“If APC don reserve Nwifuru for 2027, why opposition dey only talk ADC? Who fit truly challenge APC?”
Right now, two big gossip lines dey move for Ebonyi:
- APC dey book Nwifuru for second term, but still dey pretend say “no anointing, no zoning war.”
- ADC dey build one big coalition story, but the way inside ADC no too sweet, so people dey watch keen‑keen.
If you take all the whispers together, the real 2027 question no longer be “who go perform,” but “who go control the party machinery and who go carry the youth?”For Tori tomorrow, you don get your story:
“2027 in Ebonyi: APC say no anointing, but Nwifuru get the seat on the invisible list. ADC say dem go crash APC, but ADC chair dey war inside. Who fit lie in 2027?”
