In a move that has sparked anticipation and debate, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Yilwatda, has revealed that the party’s internal polls suggest that Bola Tinubu stands a strong chance of winning the 2027 presidential election. This prediction was shared with Premium Times Nigeria and Vanguard News on October 12, 2026. According to Premium Times, Mr Yilwatda stated that the party had conducted surveys across various states and obtained reliable statistics showing that the APC is ahead of its political opponents. Vanguard News reported a similar sentiment, with Mr Yilwatda comparing Tinubu favorably to Atiku Abubakar, the incumbent Vice-President. However, it is important to note that the APC has not yet officially announced Tinubu as its presidential candidate for 2027. Furthermore, it is common for political parties to conduct internal polls to gauge public sentiment, and these results may not always translate to electoral success. As the 2027 elections draw closer, it will be interesting to see how the political landscape evolves and whether Tinubu can capitalize on these early signs of support.
