Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), believes the party has the numbers and power to win the upcoming governorship race in Ekiti and the presidential election in 2027.
Yilwatda made the assertion while launching the APC National Campaign Council for the Ekiti Governorship election on June 20 in Abuja.
The chairman presented the party’s flag to the APC governorship candidate, Gov. Biodun Oyenbanji,, contesting for a second term in office.
He noted that Oyebanji was doing well in terms of infrastructural development, social protection, scholarships and health support systems for the people.
“You are connecting roads and connecting hearts across the state. We celebrate you, and I thank God for giving you to the people of Ekiti and to our party as well.
“Today, we present you to the people of Ekiti for a second term in office. As a party, we are proud and happy that we have you.
“You are one of the best candidates for this election; the people have no option, as you seem to be the only candidate for this election,” he said.
Yilwatda, who boasted about the party’s growing strength lately, added that no political party in the country could match the array of people in the APC.
“APC has the strength and is prepared to win any election.’’
Yiltwada said funding would not be a problem for the party to win elections because it has the manpower and capacity to raise funds, adding that it was building an inclusive campaign council for Ekiti.
“The elderly are here with all talents and all shared opinions, people who can raise funds down to mobilisation at the polling unit level, we are prepared,” he said.
