  "account": "The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, announced on Sunday that the party had successfully uploaded all its candidates into the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal ahead of the 2027 general election deadline. This significant achievement, completed well ahead of the original deadline set by INEC, demonstrates the APC's organizational strength, institutional discipline, and readiness for the upcoming elections. Yilwatda emphasized that the successful upload of candidates from the state House of Assembly to the presidency showcased the party's planning, coordination, and execution capabilities. The APC's accomplishment ahead of schedule also gives the party more time to focus on campaign coordination, voter mobilization, and other critical election preparation stages. The chairman urged Nigerians to consider the importance of organizational capacity when choosing political parties and leaders, cautioning against parties that promise governance but lack the necessary internal structures to deliver on their promises. The APC's achievement should be viewed as an early indicator of its preparedness for the 2027 electoral contest, showcasing the party's ability to manage complex governmental responsibilities and meet statutory deadlines.",
