APC Chairman Yilwatda Supports Tinubu Amid Wike's Coalition
Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), expressed that he does not oppose anyone supporting President Bola Tinubu's re-election in the 2027 general election. This statement follows a conflict between APC governors and Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), over Wike's Rainbow Coalition, which is intended to mobilize support for Tinubu while potentially sidelining APC candidates in other elections.
Yilwatda clarified that the governors are focused on promoting their party's candidates and that he, as party chairman, will also support APC candidates exclusively. He acknowledged Wike's right to support Tinubu while remaining in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Yilwatda asserted that the APC still has public confidence and that the reforms under Tinubu's administration are yielding positive results, despite temporary challenges.
