He highlighted the party's membership records, vast network, elected officials, support groups, and established internal structures as key factors contributing to its advantage. Yilwatda further revealed that the APC has governors, senators, and representatives across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, as well as a substantial presence in state Houses of Assembly.
The party has also inaugurated its campaign council and uploaded candidates to INEC's portal. Yilwatda expressed confidence in the party's preparations for the 2027 elections, emphasizing the importance of adhering to INEC's electoral timetable for a fair, transparent, and predictable electoral process.
