The All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended Nigerians for their overwhelming support during the just concluded bye-elections on Saturday.
APC gave the commendation in an appreciation letter jointly signed by its National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, and National Secretary, Sen. Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, on Monday.
The By-Elections were conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Adamawa, Anambra, Edo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Kogi, Niger, Ogun, Oyo, Taraba, and Zamfara States.
Going by the results declared by INEC, the All Progressives Congress (APC) won in 12 constituencies, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) won in two, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won in one, while the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) won in one.
The APC said that the Nigerians’ votes were not only for its candidates in the various constituencies where elections took place, but also a vote of confidence in the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and a firm endorsement of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
The party also thanked the state governors, members of the National and State Assemblies, leaders and stakeholders at all levels, and the thousands of patriotic Nigerians who came out in large numbers to participate in the democratic process.
It urged them to remain resolute and not be misled by the antics of opposition parties, who have consistently failed to present workable alternatives for the development of the nation.
The party assured that the administration of President Tinubu would continue to implement economic reforms, strengthen national security, accelerate critical infrastructure development, advance health and education reforms, and promote fiscal responsibility to stabilise and revitalise the Nigerian economy.
“That the APC won twelve seats and is leading in one of the seventeen legislative seats contested in the just-concluded bye-elections is clear evidence that our Party remains the preferred choice of Nigerians.
“Specifically, in the Senate, APC secured one of the two contested seats. Of the five vacant seats in the House of Representatives, APC won four.
“At the state level, out of the ten constituency seats contested (including one re-run), APC emerged victorious in seven.
“In addition, the APC holds a firm and unassailable lead in the Kaura Namoda South Constituency of Zamfara State, which was declared inconclusive.
“This outcome reflects the enduring trust Nigerians continue to place in the APC to deliver democratic dividends,” APC said.
It urged Nigerians not to be distracted by the theatrics of the opposition, as the administration of President Tinubu is committed to credible, transparent, and competitive elections.
The party reiterated that with the continued support of Nigerians, it is confident of achieving an overwhelming victory in the 2027 general elections, thereby consolidating the gains we have made and building a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria for all.
