The All Progressives Congress (APC) maintains that its extensive nationwide organization and membership of approximately 13 million provide it with a significant advantage over other political parties ahead of the 2027 elections. Nentawe Yilwatda, the party's National Chairman, made this assertion during a meeting with an ECOWAS fact-finding delegation at the party's National Secretariat in Abuja.

The delegation, headed by former Sierra Leone Vice-President Victor Bockarie Foh, was led by Yilwatda's Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki.

He stated that the APC's advantage extends beyond its electoral history to include a verifiable membership database, a robust grassroots structure, elected representatives, nationwide support groups, and streamlined internal processes. According to Yilwatda, the APC is currently the largest political party in Nigeria, with a size that surpasses all other parties threefold.
