Chisom Anyim, son of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim, has picked the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential expression of interest and nomination forms in Ebonyi State. He is among several political figures who collected the forms ahead of the 2027 elections.
Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate, Onyekachi Nwebonyi, also took possession of the APC forms in the state. Nwebonyi represents Ezza North/Ezza South/Ishielu federal constituency in the House of Representatives.
Chief Iduma Igariwey, former deputy governorship candidate of the APC in Ebonyi State, is another aspirant who collected the form. He was the running mate to Senator Michael Ama Nnachi in the 2023 gubernatorial election.
Chinedu Ogah, chairman of the House Committee on Reformatory Institutions, joined the list of aspirants who obtained the party's documents. The forms were collected at the APC secretariat in Abakaliki.
The APC is expected to conduct its presidential primary at a later date to determine its candidate for the 2027 general elections.
Chisom Anyim is seeking the APC's presidential ticket despite the party losing Ebonyi State in the last two major elections. His entry into the race suggests a reliance on pedigree over recent electoral performance. This may signal continuity of elite recycling in Nigerian politics without addressing past campaign failures. Voters in the southeast may question whether these candidates offer new direction or repeat old patterns.
