Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, the new national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC has his job cut out for him. One major part of that job is the election of President Bola Tinubu for second term in 2027. But before that time a present task is the success of the APC at the off-season elections in Ekiti, Osun and Anambra states next year.

This is the charge by Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the APC in Osun state, who has implored Prof. Yilwatda, to develop the necessary winning strategies for the governorship elections in the affected states.

Oyintiloye, who congratulated Yilwatda on his election, said this during a chat with newsmen in Osogbo, capital of Osun State. Oyintiloye, a member of the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), said success at the off-season elections is critical to the 2027 general election, as far as the APC is concerned.
While describing the new chairman as a man of impeccable character and integrity, Oyintiloye said that Yilwatda should display his prowess by ensuring that the party secures a landslide victory in the governorship elections.

He also urged the APC chairman to continue in the path of his predecessor by ensuring that more political leaders and members from the opposition parties join the APC for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu.

He said the new Chairman would achieve success in the upcoming polls by working with the state chapters to design strategies that will be good for their peculiar situations to achieve success.
Oyintiloye said that Yilwatda should continue to sustain the agenda of the party through good policy formation and proper integration of critical stakeholders at all stages of strategic plans down to execution.
Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker, also urged Yilwatda to continue to sustain a cordial relationship with the government in power and Nigerians, by working with the state chapters to rally the people behind policies and programmes of President Tinubu’s administration.

He said, “The new national chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, is coming in with a lot of experience and with fresh vigor needed to drive our party going into the 2027 general elections.
“His emergence is an indication that APC has eggheads with the right approach and ready-made responses to different situations.
“The manner in which he emerged was an indication that we are bright people who can effectively manage our affairs as a party in power.
“Prof. Yilwatda has a serious job on his hands, and I am sure he is aware of this. “Off-cycle elections in Anambra, Ekiti, and Osun states are around the corner before the 2027 general elections.
“He should work closely with the state chapters to design a winning formula that will work for their various states.
“The leadership of the party at the state levels must have first-hand information and be fully involved in the planning and execution of strategies.
“The three elections must be won, and that tempo must be sustained going into the 2027 polls.”
He also appealed to the chairman to ensure that dedicated and committed members of the party are adequately rewarded for them to have a sense of belonging.
He, however, emphasised the need for the APC to strengthen internal democracy within its fold to protect the current members and manage the defectors to avoid implosion.
