Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda asserts APC dominates national politics, dismissing claims of any viable opposition.
Speaking to the press today, APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda asserted confidently that “there is no opposition” in Nigeria. He claimed APC’s dominance has rendered all rival parties ineffective or irrelevant.
Yilwatda’s remarks echo a broader narrative of political consolidation within the ruling party, reflecting both confidence and defiance ahead of the 2027 elections.
Critics argue this rhetoric may fuel disillusionment among opposition supporters and undermine democratic pluralism. Meanwhile, opposition parties say it reveals APC’s fear of emerging alliances and shifting voter dynamics.
While Yilwatda’s statement amplifies APC’s projected strength, political observers await to see if reality aligns—particularly in volatile swing states and among youth and diaspora voters.
