APC's Yilwatda Backs Tinubu Amid Opposition Campaigns

Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), spoke on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, where he dismissed the "Tinubu Must Go" campaign as a movement driven by opposition politicians that does not represent the views of Nigerians. Yilwatda argued that the inability of opposition parties to win elections gives the APC a significant advantage as they prepare for the 2027 elections.

He compared President Bola Ahmed Tinubu favorably to former vice president Atiku Abubakar, stating that Tinubu is “far better” than Abubakar. Yilwatda also mentioned improvements in the electricity sector, noting that state governments have been empowered to generate, transmit, and distribute power.

He welcomed support for Tinubu’s re-election from political groups outside the APC, including the Rainbow Coalition associated with Nyesom Wike, and maintained that the APC remains confident of victory despite the ongoing opposition campaigns against the president.
