The APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has described Saturday’s FCT council elections as a resounding endorsement of President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing reforms.
In a statement issued in Abuja by his Special Adviser on Media and Communications Strategy, Mr Abimbola Tooki, Yilwatda said the results affirmed Tinubu’s governance direction.
He said the overwhelming support recorded by the APC, particularly in the FCT, reflected confidence in the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Tinubu-led administration.
According to him, the outcome showed Nigerians believed the current reforms would ultimately steer the country towards sustainable progress and prosperity.
“I heartily congratulate our teeming supporters in the FCT, Kano and Rivers on the peaceful and credible conduct of Saturday’s polls.
“The victories recorded by our great party are a clear testament to the resilience, unity and grassroots strength of the APC,” he said.
Yilwatda said the FCT Area Council results carried special national significance for the party and the administration.
He said: “The Abuja election is a powerful statement that Nigerians stand firmly with President Tinubu and his bold reform agenda.
“As residents of the nation’s capital, their verdict sends a strong message of renewed hope and confidence in this administration’s ability to reposition Nigeria.”
He congratulated APC chairmanship candidates who won in AMAC, Kuje, Abaji, Bwari and Kwali, noting their victories underscored the party’s deep grassroots connection.
The chairman also congratulated the PDP chairmanship candidate who won in Gwagwalada, describing his emergence as proof that democracy prevailed.
He further congratulated four APC State House of Assembly candidates who secured victory in Kano and Rivers states.
Yilwatda said their success reflected effective party organisation and public trust in APC leadership.
He commended party leaders, stakeholders and supporters across the three states for their discipline and peaceful participation.
He also praised security agencies and election officials for professionalism during the polls.
Yilwatda said: “As we celebrate these victories, we must remain united 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.” (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
