The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Yilwatda Nentawe, has predicted that Nigerians would vote for the party again in the 2027 elections.
Speaking on Tuesday at the opening of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors Summit 2026, Nentawe said the 2027 elections would be a referendum on whether Nigerians want to move forward or backwards.
He argued that the opposition was hoping that the reforms embarked upon by the administration of President Bola Tinubu would weaken the support of Nigerians for the party, but, on the contrary, it has strengthened the relationship between the government and the people.
The APC Chairman explained that the summit is expected to strengthen governance communication under the Renewed Hope Agenda and to lay the structural foundation for a decisive and historic victory in 2027.
“We are the party of courage. Under President Tinubu, we have chosen reform over rhetoric. We have chosen restructuring over recycling failure,” he said.
According to him, Nigerians will not vote for noise, but ‘”They will vote for results, and that is why the APC-led administration has chosen bold economic reform over cosmetic populism.”
Stressing the strategic nature of the 2027 election, Nentawe submitted that “2027 will be a referendum on reform. A referendum on courage. A referendum on whether Nigeria continues forward or retreats backward. If we communicate effectively. If we mobilize strategically. If we remain united, victory will not be accidental. It will be inevitable.”
He called on leaders and members of the APC to ensure unity in the party and work with a common purpose.
“When the President speaks, governors must echo. When governors deliver, ambassadors must amplify. When the party decides, members must defend. Unity is strategic power,” he said.
