Sandy Onor, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Cross River State, has made history by becoming the first person to purchase the party's presidential nomination form for the 2027 general elections. This development marks a significant step in the buildup to the upcoming electoral cycle.
Onor's Political Alliances
Onor is known to be a strong ally of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). His early acquisition of the nomination forms signals his intent to contest for the highest office in the land under the PDP banner.
Details of the Purchase
The former governorship candidate obtained the forms ahead of other potential aspirants, making him the first to officially declare his interest in the PDP presidential ticket. The party has not yet released an official statement regarding the sale of forms, but sources confirm that Onor has secured his place in the race.
Implications for the 2027 Elections
This move is expected to set the tone for the PDP's internal selection process. With other prominent figures likely to join the race, the contest for the party's nomination promises to be competitive. Onor's early entry could give him an advantage in building momentum and securing support from party delegates.
As the political landscape evolves, all eyes will be on the PDP as it prepares for its primary elections. The party aims to present a strong candidate to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.
