APC polls show Tinubu will win 2027 election — Yilwatda
Yilwatda also compared Tinubu with Atiku, describing the incumbent president as “far better” than the former vice-president. The post APC polls show Tinubu will win 2027 election — Yilwatda appeared first on Vanguard…
Nigeria's 2027 general election is still roughly two years away, but political parties and aspirants have already begun positioning, with internal polling often used as a tool to project confidence and dampen talk of internal dissent or opposition momentum. APC national chairman Umar Yilwatda's claims come against the backdrop of President Bola Tinubu's first term, which has been marked by subsidy removal, naira reforms and economic hardship that opposition figures argue have weakened his re-election prospects, even as the ruling party insists its grassroots structure and incumbency advantages remain strong.
The comparison drawn with Atiku Abubakar, a perennial presidential contender and former vice-president who has run on opposition tickets in previous cycles, situates this claim within the broader rivalry between the APC and opposition coalitions ahead of 2027. Neither Vanguard nor Premium Times report independent verification of the "party polls" Yilwatda referenced, nor details on their methodology, sample size or who conducted them — details that remain unreported and make the figures difficult to independently assess.
