The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, on Sunday, projected a sweeping victory for the ruling party in the 2027 general elections, citing what he described as “growing national acceptance of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.”

Yilwatda made the declaration in Abuja while receiving the leadership of Women Leaders Support Advancement, a political advocacy group promoting greater inclusion of women in governance.

His comments come as the APC intensifies internal consultations ahead of its crucial National Caucus and National Executive Committee meetings, now 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 insisted that President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda had expanded political participation for women and youths, noting that the administration’s policies aligned with growing demands for inclusive leadership.

“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.

Yilwatda urged Nigerian women to remain steadfast in supporting the President, describing them as essential to the APC’s grassroots machinery.

“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 also offered the women’s organisation an opportunity to pledge deeper engagement across the country.

Its Matron and Co-founder, Dr. Martina Yilwatda, urged members to strengthen their presence at the grassroots.

“This platform must not only exist in name but must be felt in the homes, markets, and communities of our women.

“We must strengthen grassroots mobilisation, especially among women and youths, to deepen political participation and national development,” she said.

Founder of the group, Deborah Hornecker, accompanied by Secretary Zainab Musa, expressed appreciation to the APC chairman and his wife for their support.

“We sincerely appreciate the love and support shown to us by the APC chairman and his wife.

“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 reaffirmed its commitment to promoting the achievements of the Tinubu administration and expanding the participation of women in national politics.

Yilwatda’s projection comes as the APC continues to consolidate its structures nationwide and fine-tune its strategy ahead of the 2027 elections. (The PUNCH)
