According to a report by Punch on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has confirmed that the ruling party has approached opposition politicians to secure their support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Yilwatda disclosed this while receiving a delegation led by former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, from the Savannah Centre for Diplomacy, Democracy and Development.
During the meeting, the APC chairman revealed that the party had appealed to several influential political figures outside its membership to support Tinubu’s second-term ambition. Those mentioned included Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo.
