Ahead of the 2027 poll, the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has ruled out the possibility of the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC) and other opposition parties unseating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Addressing hundreds of supporters of the party under the aegis of the APC League of Professionals on a solidarity visit to the national secretariat of the party on Tuesday in Abuja, he referred to the gains so far recorded under the renewed Hope Agenda of the President Tinubu-led administration as the basis for his assertion.
The Plateau-born politician assured that the party would ensure the victory of all its candidates angling for governorship, national, and state Assembly seats across the country.
Yilwatda, who described himself as the bridge between the old and the young, particularly cited the students’ loan and several empowerment programmes being undertaken by the President Tinubu-led administration that have positively impacted the citizenry.
He said, “The child of the poorest man in Nigeria can now go to school to the peak without borrowing from anywhere. The government has made provision for that. This is the only time we’ve had that in the history of Nigeria. The government has dropped N1.5 billion into the Bank of Agriculture (BOA) to support young men who want to go into agriculture..Nigerian cuisine recipes
“Never before have we had this opportunity. We have the youth fund being given to the youth. Never before has any government done this. And I can tell you that the opportunity for the young people is right under our President.
What I can show you first is a thank you for this support, a thank you for standing by our party, a thank you for believing in this party.
“Our manifesto targets people like you. The Renew Hope Agenda targets people like you. And I look forward to working with you to ensure that 2027 will deliver the President, the Governors, the Senators, the House of Assemblies and the House of Representatives members.”
The pioneer secretary of the Bayelsa State chapter of the APC, Hon. Marlin Daniel, expressed gratitude to President Tinubu and the Sen. Hope Uzodinma-led Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) over the choice of Yilwatda as the national chairman of the party.
He expressed optimism that Yilwatda will surely deliver candidates of the party at the polls, given his experience as a politician and technocrat of several years standing in the polity.
