The National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has said that more governors in the country will still decamp to the party ahead of the 2027 general election to support President Bola Tinubu’s reelection bid.
Speaking during the Bayelsa State chapter 12th expanded stakeholders meeting and endorsement for President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday in Yenagoa, the state capital, Yilwatda, stated that because President Tinubu has done well in governance, more governors and Senators have abandoned their parties and join APC to ensure that the president wins overwhelmingly in 2027.
Yilwatda, represented by the APC Deputy National Chairman, South, Chief Emma Eneukwu, stated that President Tinubu is on the move to take Nigeria to a greater height.
recalls that just few months ago, Delta state Governor, Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwore and Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, all dumped their former Party, the PDP and joined APC to support President’s re-election.
Yilwatda said: “Our doors are still open, more governors are still moving in to our party, more personalities are still moving in, senators, members of the House of representatives, because of the caliber, integrity and the output of the person we make president.
“Other people who are running around trying to challenge the president in the 2027 election, but of course you know, when you have a lion and other small animals are barking, the lion don’t even take notice of them, he go about his duties properly, that is what the president is doing.
“It is expected that dogs will bark, it’s expected that opposition will speak and rise, but it is well assured that we have a product that even a blind man in this country will support overwhelmingly.
“I am very happy with the South South geopolitical zone, because all the governors that were in the other Political parties before have seen the quality of the character of the president and the person we are presenting and marketing to return as the President of the Federal republic, because of what they saw in Mr President, they have all abandoned their own political parties, and joined our great party, so that they can put hands together to move Nigeria forward, and that is very commendable.
“From the South East, we use the South South as an example, because all the governors are very realistic, understanding, they have moved on abandoning their parties, just to make sure that they goal of making Nigeria a greater country is achieved.
“They are leaving their parties to come to APC to support Mr President in 2027 to record an overwhelming victory, so that as we go into 2027, governance will be easier.
“The President is not afraid, he takes the bull by the horn, what others do not have the political will to embark on, he goes about it and he achieved results, this president is on the move to take Nigeria to a greater height.”
He called for the unity and togetherness of the party members in Bayelsa in order to record overwhelming victory in 2027 general election.
Also speaking, the former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva, stated that APC in Bayelsa State is very united ahead of the general election.
