The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has reaffirmed the party’s unwavering commitment to advancing women’s participation in politics, declaring that gender inclusion will form a central pillar of the party’s ideology and strategic direction ahead of the 2027 general elections.

This assurance was given during a high-level engagement with members of the Forum of 2027 APC Female Aspirants Network (FAFAN), led by its National Convener, Hon. Princess Nikky Onyeri, at the party’s national secretariat.

Prof. Yilwatda described the gathering as historic, noting the unprecedented number and calibre of women aspiring for elective offices under the APC platform.

He commended their courage, experience, and contributions to shaping Nigeria’s political landscape, emphasizing that no other political party in the country currently boasts such a formidable assembly of female aspirants.

The APC National Chairman expressed deep appreciation to the group for their endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his own leadership, describing it as a strong vote of confidence that reinforces the party’s unity and shared vision.

He stressed that the principle of federal character must extend beyond geographical representation to include gender balance, arguing that equitable representation of women is fundamental to true national inclusion.

According to him, with women constituting nearly half of Nigeria’s population, their underrepresentation in governance undermines the spirit of fairness and democracy.
