APC Senate Primaries: Daniel, Amosun, Rochas Crash Out as Abiodun, Uzodimma, Bello Emerge Winners

The All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primaries have produced a wave of surprises as some heavyweight politicians lost their bids while others secured tickets ahead of the next general elections.

Former Ogun State governor, Gbenga Daniel, former Ogun governor and incumbent senator, Ibikunle Amosun, and former Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, all reportedly crashed out of the contests in their respective senatorial districts, marking a significant upset within the party.

In contrast, sitting Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, Imo State governor, Hope Uzodimma, and former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, emerged victorious in their senatorial primaries, strengthening their positions ahead of the 2027 political race.

Party insiders describe the outcomes as a mix of internal power shifts and strategic endorsements, reflecting ongoing realignments within the APC across key states.

The primaries were closely watched across Nigeria, with delegates’ votes determining the fate of several high-profile aspirants in what has become one of the most competitive internal exercises in recent party history.
