The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has declared that victory in 2027 is inevitable if the party maintains discipline, unity, and strategic communication.
Professor Yilwatda made the declaration while delivering an address at the Hope Ambassadors Summit in Abuja.
Welcoming party leaders, governors, and Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Professor Yilwatda described the summit as “a moment of strategic destiny,” built on belief in Nigeria, reform, and in the mission of President Bola Tinubu and the APC.
He emphasised that governance must be matched with effective communication, structure, and grassroots mobilisation to translate reforms into public gratitude, loyalty, and ultimately, electoral victory in 2027.
“Good governance without communication is invisible. Communication without structure is noise. And politics without grassroots mobilisation is an organised defeat,” he said.
The APC National Chairman stressed that governance and electoral success are inseparable, noting that the summit was designed to strengthen governance communication under the Renewed Hope Agenda while laying the structural foundation for a decisive and historic victory in 2027.
According to him, while the opposition hopes that temporary discomfort arising from reforms will weaken the APC, the party has deliberately chosen courage over convenience.
Under President Tinubu, he noted, the APC has embraced bold economic reforms, restructuring, and long-term solutions rather than cosmetic populism.
“History does not reward hesitation; it rewards conviction. In 2027, Nigerians will not vote for noise; they will vote for results,” he asserted.
Professor Yilwatda reaffirmed that the APC is not a coalition of convenience but a disciplined movement anchored on ideological clarity.
He warned against contradictory narratives, internal sabotage, and uncoordinated messaging, insisting that unity is not optional but a strategic necessity.
He explained that when the President speaks, governors must echo; when governors deliver, ambassadors must amplify; and when the party decides, members must defend.
Such cohesion, he said, is critical to sustaining reforms and strengthening public trust.
He framed the 2027 election as a clear choice between noise and nation-building, populism and progress, confusion and Renewed Hope, expressing confidence that Nigerians will choose progress.
Professor Yilwatda described the 2027 general election as a referendum on reform, courage, and Nigeria’s direction.
He stressed that victory would not be accidental but inevitable if the party communicates effectively, mobilises strategically, and remains united.
He charged Progressive Governors to lead with performance and communicate with precision; Renewed Hope Ambassadors to take the message to the grassroots; party leaders to guard unity jealously; and all APC members to see themselves not just as supporters but as messengers of national transformation.
The APC National Chairman urged members to organise success deliberately rather than manage it casually.
He called on the party to choose structure over sentiment, clarity over confusion, unity over division, and victory over doubt.
Professor Yilwatda expressed confidence that when Nigerians return to the ballot in 2027, they will vote not just for a party but for stability, courage, and Renewed Hope.
