From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja
In the run-up to the 2027 general elections, the Action Peoples Party (APP), on Friday, ratified the “Big Elephant” as its official logo at a convention in Abuja.
The ratification of the APP logo was one of the highlights of the opposition party’s convention, which was monitored by a team from the Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC).
The National Chairman of the party, Uche Nnadi, while addressing party stalwarts, at the event, said the new logo represents the strength of the party and its preparedness to wrestle power in more states in the 2027 general election.
Nnadi described APP’s victory at the last Rivers State local government election as an indication that the party stand a good electoral chance in the next election.
“Our resounding victories in the recently concluded Rivers State Local Government Elections. Winning 22 out of 23 chairmanship seats and 314 out of 319 councillorship positions is not only a remarkable achievement but a testament to the faith and trust the people have placed in our party.
“This success underscores our values of integrity, hard work, and service to the people. We extend our special appreciation to the people of Rivers State for standing resolutely with us and ensuring that their votes are counted in a peaceful, free, and fair election.
“Despite efforts by certain forces to hinder the will of the people, the people of Rivers State, by the grace of God, stood firm and made history. Additionally, we celebrate a significant breakthrough in Jigawa State, where we secured a councillorship seat.
“Though modest compared to our triumphs in Rivers State. By every measure, the APP is the fastest-growing political party in Nigeria today. Our manifesto resonates with citizens across the nation, and our message of hope and transformation is reaching the grassroots, ” he stated.
