2027: Tinubu’s projects will win votes for APC, says Yilwatda
Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), asserted that the infrastructure projects initiated by President Bola Tinubu’s administration will serve as a decisive electoral advantage for the party in the 2027 general elections. During an inspection of the Akwanga, Jos, and Gombe sections of the Trans-Sahara Superhighway, Yilwatda characterized these developments as an unbeatable campaign asset that allows citizens to evaluate the government based on tangible deliverables. He highlighted the project’s scale, noting it covers over 1,400 kilometers and connects multiple geopolitical zones, while emphasizing features such as intelligent surveillance, continuous lighting, and emergency clinics intended to boost security and economic activity. Yilwatda argued that the commitment of hundreds of billions of naira to the project demonstrates the effectiveness of the Renewed Hope agenda, predicting continued public support for the current leadership. The Federal Ministry of Works previously described the specific 125-kilometer Akwanga-Jos segment as a critical component for improving national connectivity and regional stability.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Young Stakeholders Forum has called on the party's youth wing to maintain unity and avoid internal conflicts ahead of the 2027 general elections. This statement follows recent controversy surrounding APC National Youth Leader Dayo Israel, who faced public criticism after posting and subsequently deleting a video featuring seven luxury SUVs allegedly provided for campaign activities. The forum’s National Publicity Secretary, Shehu Attah, issued a formal vote of confidence in Israel during a press conference in Abuja, urging members to resolve disputes through official party channels rather than creating parallel power structures. The group emphasized that the primary objective of the youth wing should be mobilizing support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid. Additionally, the forum highlighted several initiatives launched by Israel, including the APC Youth House and educational engagement programs, to justify their backing of his leadership.
