2027: APC Will Win Through Unity, Discipline and Strategic Messaging — Yilwatda

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has declared that the party’s pathway to victory in 2027 rests on discipline, unity, strategic communication and effective grassroots mobilization.

Speaking at the Hope Ambassadors Summit held in Abuja on Tuesday, Yilwatda described the gathering as “a moment of strategic destiny,” bringing together party leaders, governors and Renewed Hope Ambassadors committed to consolidating the reform agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Communications Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, the APC chairman emphasized that governance must be matched with coordinated communication and structure to translate reforms into public trust and electoral success.
“Good governance without communication is invisible. Communication without structure is noise. And politics without grassroots mobilization is an organised defeat,” Yilwatda said.

He stressed that governance and electoral victory are inseparable, noting that the summit was convened not only to strengthen communication under the Renewed Hope Agenda but also to lay a solid structural foundation for what he described as a decisive and historic victory in 2027.

Yilwatda said while opposition parties are banking on temporary discomfort arising from ongoing reforms to weaken the ruling party, the APC has chosen courage over convenience by implementing bold economic reforms and long-term structural changes rather than what he termed “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.

The APC national chairman reaffirmed that the party remains a disciplined movement anchored on ideological clarity, not a coalition of convenience. He cautioned against contradictory narratives, internal sabotage and uncoordinated messaging, insisting that unity is a strategic necessity.
He explained that synergy across all levels of leadership is essential, stating that when the President speaks, governors must echo; when governors deliver, ambassadors must amplify; and when the party takes a position, members must defend it.
Drawing a contrast between the APC and the opposition, Yilwatda said while the ruling party is focused on reforms and nation-building, its critics engage in complaints and speculation without offering credible alternatives. He framed the 2027 general election as a referendum on reform, courage and the nation’s direction.

Looking ahead, he described the forthcoming polls as a clear choice between “noise and nation-building, populism and progress, confusion and Renewed Hope,” expressing confidence that Nigerians would ultimately choose stability and continuity.
He charged Progressive Governors to lead with measurable performance and communicate with precision, urged Renewed Hope Ambassadors to take the message of reform to the grassroots, and called on party leaders to guard unity jealously.

Concluding his address, Yilwatda urged party members to deliberately organize success rather than manage it casually, choosing structure over sentiment, clarity over confusion and unity over division.
The summit ended with prayers for the APC, its governors and the Federal Republic of Nigeria, marking what he described as the beginning of a disciplined, data-driven and grassroots-powered movement aimed at securing effective governance and electoral victory in 2027.
