The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has projected a strong electoral performance for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, expressing confidence that the ruling party is already entering the race with millions of committed supporters.
Speaking in Abuja during the presentation of the nomination forms of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima as the APC’s presidential ticket for 2027, Yilwatda said the party’s nationwide membership provides a solid foundation for victory.
APC Chairman Points to Massive Membership Strength
According to Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, the APC currently has more than 12 million registered members, a figure he believes translates into a significant electoral advantage for the party.
He explained that the support demonstrated during the party’s presidential primary reflected the confidence members have in President Tinubu, adding that the existing membership alone gives the APC a substantial head start ahead of the next general election.
Rather than expressing uncertainty, Yilwatda maintained that the party already possesses a dependable support base capable of delivering millions of votes when Nigerians head to the polls.
Government Programmes Expected to Attract More Voters
The APC chairman also argued that the administration’s ongoing programmes and development initiatives would strengthen the President’s popularity beyond the party’s registered membership.
He encouraged party faithful to engage more actively with citizens by highlighting projects and policies introduced under the Tinubu administration, insisting that visible achievements would remain the party’s strongest message during the campaign season.
According to Gossip News Now, Yilwatda believes that communicating the government’s performance effectively will help convince more Nigerians to support the APC in 2027.
Party Leaders Asked to Promote Tinubu’s Record
Addressing governors, party officials and supporters, Yilwatda urged them to return to their various states and continue informing the public about what he described as the administration’s accomplishments.
He stressed that the campaign should focus on governance outcomes and the impact of government policies on ordinary Nigerians rather than relying solely on political rhetoric.
The APC chairman suggested that showcasing completed projects and reforms would strengthen public confidence in the party ahead of the election.
Yilwatda Predicts Comfortable APC Victory
Expressing optimism about the party’s prospects, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda described President Bola Tinubu as the APC’s strongest choice for the presidency in 2027.
He conveyed confidence that the ruling party would emerge victorious across the country, emphasizing that its leadership remains convinced of success and sees no reason to doubt its electoral chances.
Commentary and Analysis
Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda’s declaration highlights APC’s strategy of going into the 2027 election cycle with confidence in the administration’s performance and the fact that there’s a lot of people across the country who are members of the APC. As elections come closer, a political party’s prediction of results may be quite optimistic but the actual results of the election will rely on the sentiments of the voters, the effectiveness of the campaign, and the overall political climate.
With political activities slowly picking up, it is expected that the government and the opposition parties will try to win Nigerians over by presenting their records, policy agenda and vision for the nation’s future.
