Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has repositioned the party for maximum victory in the 2027 elections.
The Senior Special Assistant on Media, Mallam Yusuf Abubakar Dingyadi, stated this in a statement signed to mark Yilwatda’s first-year anniversary, and issued to newsmen on Sunday in Sokoto.
Dingyadi declared that the ruling party has witnessed renewed unity, expanding nationwide support and stronger internal cohesion under his leadership.
“APC has evolved into a more disciplined, inclusive and people-centred political platform.
“Yilwatda assumed office at a critical period in the party’s history, focused on strengthening internal democracy, fostering reconciliation among party stakeholders and repositioning the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“The party’s National Secretariat has become more professional, with greater emphasis on accountability, innovation and efficient administration,” Dingyadi said.
According to Dingyadi, Yilwatda’s leadership style, characterised by consultation, humility and administrative discipline, has improved cooperation within the National Working Committee, party elders and other stakeholders, resulting in greater unity across the party.
He added that one of the major achievements recorded during the period was the successful reconciliation of aggrieved members and the promotion of consensus-building across different tendencies within the APC.
The Chairman’s Aide also said the APC has expanded its engagement with youths, women, persons with disabilities and other groups, while strengthening party structures across wards, local governments and states.
“The ruling party further linked its growing acceptance to the implementation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, saying Nigerians are beginning to see the benefits of ongoing economic reforms through infrastructure projects and government interventions across the country.
“While acknowledging that the reforms have imposed temporary hardships on citizens, Dingyadi said the party maintained that the measures were necessary to stabilise the economy and avert a deeper national crisis.
“Looking ahead to the 2027 general elections, Dingyadi expressed confidence that the party would retain power, insisting that the foundation laid under Yilwatda’s leadership had positioned the party for another electoral victory,” Dingyadi added.
He urged Nigerians to sustain their support for the APC, describing it as a party committed to democratic values, national development and inclusive governance.
He also reiterated that the party remained open to new members and pledged to continue strengthening its internal structures while working to deliver what it described as greater dividends of democracy to Nigerians.
