  "account": "The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Donald Duke, and Seyi Makinde are unable to compete with President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election. This assertion was made by Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, the party's National Chairman, during a gathering of Forum of APC House of Representatives Aspirants in Abuja. Yilwatda emphasized that the opposition candidates have no credible standing when compared to Tinubu. These four individuals are running as presidential candidates of different political parties: African Democratic Congress (ADC), Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), and Allied People’s Movement (APM). Yilwatda stated that President Tinubu possesses unmatched credibility, supported by factual records and institutional development achievements. He criticized the opposition's inability to match Tinubu's accomplishments, particularly in the area of infrastructure development. He highlighted the lack of roads constructed with the N300 billion budget allocated for roads during the tenure of former President Obasanjo, whose vice-president was Atiku Abubakar. Yilwatda insisted that the APC candidate has constructed numerous roads across the country within a span of just three years.",
