The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says it has reviewed the party’s structures nationwide and declared it ready for the 2027 general elections.

n

The APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, made this known at a news conference on Saturday at the end of the committee’s three-day retreat in Maiduguri.

n

Yilwatda said the review covered the party’s structures from the national, state, local government and ward levels to polling units.

n

He added that the assessment gave the party what he described as “clean bill of health”, noting that the NWC considered the APC strong and prepared for the 2027 elections.

n

The chairman said the NWC also passed a vote of confidence on President Bola Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima and other candidates who emerged from the party’s primary elections.

n

According to him, the committee will intensify reconciliation efforts at the state, local government and ward levels to address internal differences and strengthen the party.

n

He urged state chapters that had yet to establish reconciliation committees to do so, saying the initiative would help to consolidate the party ahead of the elections.

n

Yilwatda said the NWC would take active role in engagements and campaign activities aimed at communicating the policies and programmes of the Tinubu administration to Nigerians.

n

On recent elections, he said the committee reviewed the outcomes of off-cycle and by-elections and was satisfied with APC’s performance.

n

He cited Ogun and Delta as states where the party had previously not won elections but recorded victories in recent contests.

n

The chairman said the APC won four of five elections conducted the previous week, while losing one, describing its performance in the lost election as strong.

n

He commended the Borno Government for hosting the retreat and thanked newsmen for the coverage.

n

He also condoled with the government and people of Niger over the death of 37 miners.
