Tinubu Cannot Be Defeated in 2027, Says APC Chairman Yilwatda

— Cites Student Loan Scheme, Empowerment Initiatives as Proof of Performance

ABUJA — The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains unbeatable in the forthcoming 2027 general elections, citing the administration’s strides under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Yilwatda made the statement on Tuesday at the APC national secretariat in Abuja while addressing a delegation of the APC League of Professionals who paid a solidarity visit to the party’s leadership.

The newly appointed party chairman expressed confidence in the APC’s prospects, stating that the party would secure victory at all levels, including governorship, National Assembly, and State Assembly contests across the country.

“President Bola Tinubu has nothing to fear in 2027. We are confident that he cannot be defeated, and we are working to ensure the APC wins across all elective positions,” Yilwatda said.

Highlighting what he described as transformational achievements by the Tinubu administration, Yilwatda pointed to the newly launched student loan scheme, agricultural empowerment initiatives, and social intervention programmes as indicators of good governance.

“For the first time in Nigeria’s history, the child of the poorest man can now aspire to the highest level of education without being hindered by financial constraints. The student loan scheme has made that possible,” he stated.

He further revealed that the federal government had injected N1.5 billion into the Bank of Agriculture to provide support for young Nigerians interested in farming, adding that the initiative was designed to stimulate youth engagement in agriculture and reduce unemployment.

Yilwatda, a former governorship candidate in Plateau State, urged party members and stakeholders to intensify grassroots mobilisation, saying the APC remains committed to deepening democracy and delivering on its campaign promises.

The visit by the APC League of Professionals comes amid growing preparations within the party as it sets its sights on retaining power in the 2027 polls.
