The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, says the ruling party is on course for a decisive victory in the 2027 general elections. He attributed his confidence to what he described as the growing national acceptance of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
Prof. Yilwatda made this known in Abuja on Sunday while receiving the leadership of Women Leaders Support Advancement, an advocacy group pushing for stronger participation of women in government.
His comments come as the APC intensifies internal consultations ahead of its National Caucus and National Executive Committee meetings scheduled for December 18 and 19 at the Presidential Villa.
“Our party is fully prepared for the future, and by the grace of God, the APC will win convincingly in 2027,” the APC chairman declared.
He said President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda had broadened political space for women and youths across the country. According to him, the administration’s policies respond to the demands of citizens seeking good governance and inclusiveness.
“The Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is deliberately structured to address the concerns of women, youths, and all Nigerians who desire good governance and inclusive leadership,” he said.
Prof. Yilwatda urged women to remain committed to supporting the President, noting that they play a vital role in strengthening the APC’s grassroots presence.
“I want to appreciate your dedication and encourage you to remain consistent in taking the message of the APC to every community in Nigeria. Women remain the backbone of political mobilisation, and your role is critical to our success,” he added.
The visit provided members of the women’s organisation an opportunity to reaffirm their commitment to nationwide engagement. They stressed the need for deeper involvement at the grassroots level.
Its Matron and Co-founder, Dr. Martina Yilwatda, encouraged members to make their presence felt across households, markets, and communities. “We must strengthen grassroots mobilisation, especially among women and youths, to deepen political participation and national development,” she said.
The Founder of the group, Deborah Hornecker, who was accompanied by its Secretary, Zainab Musa, expressed gratitude to the APC chairman for his continuous support. She also pledged the group’s readiness to mobilise women across the country.
“We assure you that Women Leaders Support Advancement will mobilise women across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory to support the APC and ensure victory for the party in 2027,” Hornecker said.
The delegation also restated its resolve to promote the achievements of the Tinubu administration and expand opportunities for women in national politics.
Prof. Yilwatda’s remarks come at a time the APC is consolidating its structures nationwide and refining its strategy ahead of the 2027 elections.
