APC's Yilwatda Claims 13 Million Members Ahead of 2027
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced that it has approximately 13 million registered members, 31 governors, and over 261,000 executive members, which it claims gives the party a significant advantage over its rivals in the upcoming 2027 general election. Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, the APC's National Chairman, made this statement on Saturday while receiving a pre-election fact-finding mission from the Economic Community of West African States, led by former Sierra Leone Vice-President Victor Foh, at the party's national secretariat in Abuja.
Yilwatda emphasized that the APC's extensive grassroots network and verified membership records make it about three times larger than its closest competitor. He noted that the party's membership database facilitates effective grassroots engagement and electoral planning.
The APC holds 31 out of 36 governorship positions, 88 out of 109 Senate seats, and 208 out of 360 House of Representatives seats, reflecting its political reach across Nigeria.
