The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has dismissed the opposition parties’ planned coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections, saying it is dead on arrival.
Speaking during a radio programme in Jos, Yilwatda said the ruling party is not threatened by any politician or coalition, including the possibility of former President Goodluck Jonathan contesting.
APC is not scared of any name in Nigeria,” he said.
Our engines and machineries are well oiled and prepared to win elections emphatically. The issue is not about individuals but about the party. Which vehicle will carry Jonathan? Is it ADC? Is it PDP?”
He mocked the strength of the opposition, describing them as fragmented and lacking a national presence.
He said the opposition parties are currently scattered into small local groups without any real national presence.
Yilwatda also accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau State of poor governance, claiming it has the worst corruption cases under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
