The All Progressives Congress (APC) claims to hold a significant advantage over other political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to Punch Nigeria, National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda stated that the party is approximately three times larger than its closest rival in terms of membership, organization, and structure.
Yilwatda reported that the APC has roughly 13 million registered members spread across all local government areas in Nigeria, alongside more than 261,000 executive members and 31 governors. The chairman shared these details on Saturday while receiving an Economic Community of West African States pre-election fact-finding mission at the party's national secretariat in Abuja.
The party's strength is attributed to its nationwide structures, grassroots network, elected officials, and support groups. Punch Nigeria notes that the party maintains detailed records of its members and utilizes membership identity cards to facilitate verification.
