Abdulrazaq Abdulganeey, National President of the Association of Nigerian Broadcasters (ANBROAD), has secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination for the Ibadan North Constituency 1 seat ahead of the 2027 general elections. The primary election, held on Wednesday across all six wards of the constituency, saw Abdulganeey emerge as the sole candidate after receiving affirmation votes in every ward. His victory was confirmed through a direct primary process, a method chosen by the party to select its representative for the upcoming elections.
The APC in Ibadan North Local Government Area deployed a direct primary system, which allowed party members to affirm their support for Abdulganeey without facing opposition. This approach streamlined the selection process and ensured a clear mandate for the candidate. Party officials emphasized that the exercise was conducted peacefully, reflecting the discipline and unity within the APC in the area.
Omilabu Ghandi, a prominent APC leader in Ibadan North, commended party members for their calm and orderly participation during the primary. He highlighted the importance of maintaining peace and cohesion as the party prepares for the 2027 elections. Ghandi also noted that the direct primary system was chosen to avoid unnecessary conflicts and to ensure a smooth transition to the general election campaign.
Abdulganeey’s emergence as the APC candidate marks a significant development in the political landscape of Ibadan North. As a respected figure in the Nigerian media industry, his entry into electoral politics brings a new dimension to the race. His background in broadcasting may influence his campaign strategy, potentially leveraging media platforms to reach voters across the constituency.
The APC’s decision to use a direct primary underscores its commitment to internal democracy and efficiency. By selecting Abdulganeey without a competitive race, the party aims to present a united front in the upcoming elections. This move also signals confidence in his ability to represent the party effectively and win public support.
With the primary concluded, Abdulganeey is now officially the APC’s candidate for Ibadan North Constituency 1. His campaign will likely focus on development, youth empowerment, and improved governance, key issues that resonate with voters in the region. As the 2027 elections draw nearer, his performance in the coming months will be closely watched by political observers and the electorate alike.
