The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Nentawe Yilwatda, has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the party’s most valuable asset. Yilwatda expressed confidence in the president’s ability to secure a second term in office in 2027, citing several key factors that will contribute to his re-election bid.
Speaking at the APC Northwest Youth Mobilisation Meet-and-Greet programme in Abuja, hosted by the Minister of State for Works, Bello Goronyo, Yilwatda highlighted the importance of rising youth involvement, visible policy outcomes, and the party’s expanding national presence. He also emphasized the effectiveness of data-focused mobilisation techniques in strengthening the party’s position.
According to Yilwatda, President Tinubu’s governance style and the APC’s increasing grassroots penetration have earned the party recognition as the largest political party in Africa. The party’s acceptance continues to grow nationwide, with new members joining every day, including governors, National Assembly members, market women, farmers, and students.
Yilwatda stressed the need for solidarity within the party, urging members to remain loyal and united. He emphasized that the party and the president are the biggest assets, and it is essential for members to stand by them. This call for unity comes as the party prepares for future elections, with a focus on building on its current momentum.
The APC’s expanding national footprint and growing membership are significant developments in Nigeria’s political landscape. As the party continues to gain support, it is likely to play a major role in shaping the country’s future. With President Tinubu at the helm, the APC is well-positioned to build on its current successes and make a strong case for re-election in 2027.
The party’s use of data-focused mobilisation techniques and its emphasis on grassroots engagement are likely to be key factors in its ongoing success. As the political landscape in Nigeria continues to evolve, the APC’s ability to adapt and respond to the needs of its members and the wider electorate will be crucial in determining its future prospects.
