APC will survive beyond Tinubu’s tenure — Yilwatda
National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has dismissed concerns about the party’s future after President Bola Tinubu leaves office, saying the ruling party has the structure and leadership capacity to endure.
Yilwatda made the remarks while appearing on Channels Television’s Hard Copy programme on Friday, amid debates over leadership succession within the APC.
According to him, the survival of the party does not depend on any single individual, noting that the APC existed and remained functional before Tinubu became president and has continued to do so under his leadership.
He recalled Tinubu’s role in the formation of the APC ahead of the 2015 general elections and his leadership of the reconciliation committee set up by former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2018 to resolve internal disputes within the party.
Yilwatda said Tinubu’s efforts helped unify party factions and contributed to the APC’s victory in the 2019 general elections, despite not being president at the time.
He added that Tinubu would continue to play an influential role in the party after leaving office, describing him as a national leader whose experience and political network would remain valuable to the APC.
The APC chairman also dismissed claims that the party lacks support in the North ahead of the 2027 elections, citing the outcome of the August 2025 by-elections.
According to him, the APC recorded victories in several northern states, including Kebbi, Kano, Kaduna, Adamawa, Kogi and Niger, losing only one House of Assembly seat.
Yilwatda said the results reflected the party’s acceptance across different regions, religious groups and ethnic communities, adding that the APC remains the most dominant political party at the grassroots.

Impeachment: I’m not prophet but only fasting, prayers will save Gov Fubara. Tinubu hates ingrates- Fayose
Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has said he is not a prophet, but only fasting and prayers will save the Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers state from the impeachment process initiated against him by the members of the State House of Assembly who are loyal to FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Fayose disclosed this during an interview on Channels Television on Friday, January 9.
While speaking on the feud between Wike and Fubara, Fayose said faulted Governor Fubara for appointing people into his cabinet and spending state funds without recourse and approval of the State Assembly.
“I’m not a prophet, but what is happening in Rivers now, it will take fasting and prayers to save Fubara; it takes the President intervening.
How can he be appointing people in his cabinet and spending money without constitutional backing and approval of the State Assembly?
People are talking about Wike; remove Wike. Can you remove who or what he is? Can’t you see people popping out during his rallies?”Fayose asked
According to Fayose, he had years ago warned Governor Fubara on his inauguration day against betraying Wike.
“During his inauguration, I told Wike that I wanted to tell Fubara one or two things against betraying him, but Wike said I shouldn’t worry, that Fubara will not do it, I told Fubara not to fight that man that he will fight and not stop fighting.”he said
The former Ekiti governor said even President Bola Tinubu hates ingratitude, stating that if not by the grace of God, those whom the President has helped could have abandoned him, giving an instance that if the President did not make Wike FCT Minister, the Minister could have been buried politically.
