President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 general elections by a wide margin, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has said.
Yilwatda spoke on Tuesday in Jos during a ceremony marking the defection of Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, to the APC.
He attributed Tinubu’s projected electoral success to what he described as improvements in national security, economic recovery and poverty reduction under the current administration.
“The president means well for Nigerians,” Yilwatda said, noting that better economic management had allowed state governments to meet salary obligations and pursue infrastructure development.
He said the president’s efforts to promote peace and stability across the country had strengthened public confidence in the government, making his re-election in 2027 “inevitable”.
Yilwatda praised Mutfwang for joining the APC, saying the move would promote unity and drive development in Plateau State. He added that the party now controls 29 state governorships following the governor’s defection.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who also addressed the gathering, described the Tinubu administration as inclusive and committed to protecting all Nigerians regardless of religion or region.
Akpabio congratulated Mutfwang on joining the APC and assured him of legislative backing in tackling insecurity and resettling internally displaced persons in Plateau State.
He said the National Assembly would support funding initiatives aimed at returning displaced communities to their homes and restoring lasting peace to the state.
