From Romanus Ugwu, Abuja
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has described the victory of the ruling party in last weekend’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Area Council and by extension the bye-elections in Kano and Rivers States as a resounding endorsement of the ongoing reforms and governance direction of President Bola Tinubu.
In a statement by Abimbola Tooki, Special Adviser to the APC boss, Yilwatda noted that the overwhelming support recorded by the party, particularly in the nation’s capital, reflects the confidence of Nigerians in the Renewed Hope Agenda and their belief that the current reforms would ultimately lead the country to its desired destination.
He said: “I heartily congratulate the teeming supporters of the APC in the FCT, Kano and Rivers states on the successful, peaceful and credible conduct of the Saturday, February 21 polls. The victories recorded by our great party are a clear testament to the resilience, unity and grassroots strength of the APC.”
Yilwatda further noted that the outcome of the FCT Area Council elections carries special national significance. “The Abuja election, in particular, is a powerful statement by Nigerians from all walks of life that they stand firmly with President Tinubu and his bold reform agenda. As residents of the nation’s capital, their verdict sends a strong message of widespread support, renewed hope and confidence in the ability of this administration to reposition Nigeria for sustainable growth and prosperity,” the ruling party boss noted.

He commended party leaders, stakeholders and supporters across the three states for their discipline, dedication and commitment to peaceful participation in the democratic process, while also acknowledging the professionalism of security agencies and election officials.
“As we celebrate these victories, we must remain united, focused and committed to delivering good governance at all levels. The message from the people is clear: they want results, accountability and continued reforms in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda. The APC will not disappoint,” the statement read.
