The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has declared that no political party in Nigeria could match the ruling party’s structure, citing more than 261,000 party executive members and the backing of 31 governors.
Yilwatda made the declaration on Wednesday at the inauguration of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu/APC Presidential Campaign Council at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
New Telegraph reports that President Bola Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, APC governors and other party leaders attended the event.
Also present were Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo, who belong to different political parties.

Yilwatda said their attendance demonstrated a shared commitment to supporting Tinubu and Shettima for a second term.
“Your presence here makes our shared commitment as a party clear. We want a better country, and we support Mr President and the Vice-President’s return for a second term. The atmosphere shows all kinds of victory even before the election,” he noted
According to him, Tinubu had made “tremendous progress” in recent years, pointing to projects that could be “visibly seen, felt and touched.”
Yilwatda said the APC’s structure gave it broad political reach, adding that two governors from other parties also supported its activities.
“No political party has our structure. We have over 261,000 party executive committee members and 31 governors, with two other governors supporting us from different parties,” he said.
