Popular businessman Isaac Fayose claims that five governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are secretly supporting the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Fayose makes the allegation in a video shared on his social media account, and sources report he says the governors will not publicly campaign for the NDC because they remain APC members. He also claims they promised financial support for the NDC’s campaign. The outlets cite Fayose’s assertion that the governors’ conditions include preventing certain APC outcomes in Abuja’s Federal Capital Territory and in Rivers State.
According to the accounts, Fayose further alleges the governors plan to support NDC efforts indirectly rather than through public statements, including offering money to polling agents. Specifically, multiple reports say he claims they would pay 200,000 naira per polling unit to polling agents in Rivers and FCT, with the goal of helping them resist rigging and protect results. None of the provided sources include independent verification of Fayose’s claims, and the reporting focuses on what he says rather than corroborating evidence.
