Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has characterized recent electoral successes, including Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s triumph in Ekiti State and favorable bye-election results nationwide, as a significant validation of the party and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
According to a statement from Abimbola Tooki, Yilwatda’s special advisor, these results indicate that citizens recognize the distinction between short-term economic adjustments and the lasting advantages of the party’s governance, which emphasizes institutional reform and infrastructure growth. He argued that the outcomes prove Nigerians value leadership that prioritizes accountability and the welfare of the public over empty political rhetoric.
Governor Oyebanji’s victory was highlighted as a direct reward for his focus on prudent resource management, inclusive governance, and visible developmental projects. Yilwatda noted that the Ekiti election serves as a national benchmark, demonstrating that when leaders provide tangible improvements in healthcare, education, security, and agricultural productivity, the electorate responds with continued support.
The APC chairman praised the Ekiti administration for fostering political consensus while maintaining a commitment to human capital development and economic stability. Ultimately, he framed these victories as a sign that the national reform agenda under President Tinubu is beginning to build a more resilient and competitive economic foundation for the country.
