Sumner Sambo, Director of News and Politics at Arise News, has said no political party in Nigeria can match the structure of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Sambo made the remark on Monday during an interview on Arise Television’s Morning Show, saying the APC currently has the strongest organisational network and campaign council among the major parties.
“The APC appears to have the strongest political organisation, with no other party matching its structure,” he said.
“I’ve seen President Bola Tinubu having a formidable team, and I can tell you that the APC is doing very well because, as it stands right now, they seem the most formidable in terms of political organization.”
He cited the composition of the party’s presidential campaign council and the structures it has put in place as proof of its readiness for the 2027 elections.
“Look at the composition of their presidential campaign council. Look at the structures they put in place, they look very well organized,” he added.
However, Sambo noted that public sentiment in key voting blocs, particularly in the North, appears to align with ThisDay newspaper’s recent projections.
According to him, many voters in those areas are bearing the brunt of economic hardship, political tension and insecurity, a situation he said the APC’s internal crises could worsen.
“A lot of people in the major voting blocs are feeling the heat, economic heat, political heat, and then of course the issues of insurgency. So it’s a very difficult one, and I think what will worsen it is the internal contradictions within the APC,” he stated.
The journalist also disclosed that the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) will inaugurate its presidential campaign council on Tuesday.
“The NDC is going to launch its own presidential campaign council tomorrow. We are hoping that it will be able to set up a formidable presidential campaign council,” he said.
