The All Progressives Congress has reiterated that President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election, saying its own polls give it the real statistics to back the claim.
National Chairman of the APC, Nentawe Yilwatda, said the party's polls show that Tinubu will emerge victorious in the election, which has opposition candidates like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress and Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress.
"We have done fact-finding; we are leading. We have done our polls. We have our own polls that give us the real statistics across the states," Yilwatda said on Channels Television's Sunday Politics.
Asked whether the polls show that the APC presidential candidate will win, the national chairman said, "Of course!"
He said that the APC is not afraid of the opposition political parties, adding that the inability of the ADC and NDC to win any election ahead of 2027 gives the APC an advantage.
He also said that Tinubu is "far better" than Atiku, arguing that the President introduced tax laws that have benefitted the poorest of the poor in the country, increased the tax net and brought more money to the government.
In the power sector, Yilwatda said the APC government has enabled state governments to generate, transmit and distribute electricity, adding that the increase in the cost of fuel is temporary. "Nigerians believe in us," he said.
He refuted claims that the APC shields party members from prosecution and conviction on corruption and other charges, saying he knows members of the party who are undergoing prosecution and appear in court every day.
The national chairman said the APC was applying a three-pronged approach to address grievances within the party that arose from the primaries, and that the leadership was reviewing the presidential campaign council list and would inaugurate it soon.
Speaking on the Rainbow Coalition of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, Yilwatda said he is not opposed to anyone who wants to support Tinubu.
He also dismissed Tinubu-Must-Go campaigners as members of the opposition, saying that they do not reflect what Nigerians are saying about the President.
