The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof Nentawe Yiltwada, on Tuesday said the ruling party would approach the 2027 general elections on the strength of “results, not noise,” declaring that the opposition had failed to offer credible alternatives to ongoing reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking at the PGF–Renewed Hope Ambassadors Strategic Summit held at the State House Conference Hall, Presidential Villa, Abuja, the chairman said while the APC was focused on restructuring governance and consolidating reforms, opposition parties were preoccupied with criticism and speculation.
“While we reform, they complain. While we build, they broadcast despair. While we structure, they speculate,” he said.
The chairman described the 2027 election as a defining moment for the country, insisting it would be a referendum on reform, courage and the direction of national progress.
He said, “In 2027, Nigerians will choose between noise and nation-building, populism and progress, confusion and Renewed Hope.”
According to him, governance and political mobilisation must now move in sync, stressing that communication of reforms was as critical as implementation.
“Good governance without communication is invisible. Communication without structure is noise. And politics without grassroots mobilisation is organised defeat,” he stated.
The APC chairman said the summit was convened to strengthen governance communication under the Renewed Hope Agenda and to lay what he called “the structural foundation for a decisive and historic victory in 2027.”
He dismissed suggestions that economic reforms would weaken the party politically, arguing that history rewards conviction rather than hesitation.
“The opposition hopes that difficult reforms will weaken us. They wait for temporary discomfort to erase long-term transformation. But we are the party of courage,” he said.
The chairman also called for internal discipline within the party, warning against contradictory messaging and what he termed “freelance communication.”
“One party means no contradictory narratives, no internal sabotage, no freelance communication. Unity is not optional; unity is strategic power,” he said.
He urged governors, party leaders and members of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors to align their messaging, amplify governance achievements and guard party unity ahead of the next electoral cycle.
“To our Progressive Governors: lead with performance and communicate with precision. To our ambassadors: carry the message to the last mile. To every APC member: you are a messenger of national transformation,” he added.
The summit brought together Progressive Governors, members of the National Working Committee, members of the Federal Executive Council and leaders of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors nationwide.
The APC chairman expressed confidence that if the party remained united, disciplined and strategic in mobilisation, victory in 2027 would not be accidental but inevitable.
