2027 a done deal – New APC chair, Yilwatda Nentawe

By Omeiza Ajayi

Newly-appointed National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Yilwatda Nentawe, on Thursday officially assumed office with a bold declaration that the 2027 general elections are already a done deal for the ruling party.

Speaking at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja during a meeting with members of the National Working Committee (NWC), Yilwatda expressed confidence in the APC’s dominance ahead of the next election cycle, promising to expand the party’s reach across all levels of governance.

He said; “Our doors are open to welcome members. We look forward to having more governors, more senators, more national assembly members, more local government chairmen and more Nigerians in our party.

“We will expand beyond bounds. I am sure by God’s grace, I am sure that 2027 is a done deal for APC”.

He also promised not to betray the trust reposed in him by the leadership and members of the party.

“I count it a rare privilege and I must appreciate God, appreciate the leadership of our party, appreciate our governors, National Assembly, National Working Committee members and all the teeming loyal supporters of APC for resting this burden of trust on me.

“I count it a trust and a burden at the same time because it is quite heavy, it is large, I know that I have people around me, veterans, supporters, friends as members of National Working Committee. I have worked with them before, I have virtually met all the members of the National Working Committee. I have met them in person in one form of service or the other, either coming here to monitor election or going for primary election elsewhere or doing campaigns in several states together with them.

“You have been my friends, you have been my partners and I expect nothing less from you that we all join hands together as a team, work together to ensure that we expand this party, we will increase membership, we will deepen technology that you already started and ensure that this party is transparent, this party enjoys the support of Nigerians and even beyond the shores of Nigeria to diaspora, recognize all the members of the party who are working for us too, it is you that has made this party tick”, he stated.
