adsOver 70 serving National Assembly members on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have lost their return tickets ahead of the 2027 general elections. The development positions the party’s recent primaries as one of the most historic political contests in Nigeria’s recent democratic history.
Among the high-profile casualties are Ned Nwoko (Delta North), Gbenga Daniel (Ogun East), Osita Izunaso (Imo West), Emmanuel Udende (Benue North-East), Titus Zam (Benue West), Olubiyi Fadeyi (Osun Central), and Saliu Mustapha (Kwara Central). These lawmakers either lost outright, stepped down, or failed to secure renomination during the exercises.

Several lawmakers who previously defected from the Labour Party (LP) to the APC also suffered humiliating defeats at the polls. This group includes Neda Imasuen (Edo South), Esosa Iyawe (Oredo Federal Constituency), Tochukwu Okere (Imo), Bassey Akiba (Cross River), and Daulyop Fom (Plateau), all of whom failed to consolidate their positions within their new party.
