APC\u2019s sweeping victories \u2014 including the highly contested Edo Central Senatorial Seat, House of Representatives seats in Kaduna, Jigawa, Ogun, and Edo, and State Assembly seats in Adamawa, Taraba, Niger, Ekiti, and Kano \u2014 reflect the public\u2019s appreciation for the policies, reforms, and governance style of the Tinubu-led administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn an atmosphere charged with opposition propaganda and economic headwinds, the APC stood tall and unshaken. Rather than cower under pressure, the government focused on stabilizing the economy, tackling insecurity, strengthening infrastructure, and pursuing bold fiscal reforms. These by-election results are a direct endorsement of that focus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Lagos APC stated that while critics have\u00a0often questioned the popularity and effectiveness of President Tinubu\u2019s administration,\u00a0the outcome of the by-elections \u201chas provided a referendum of sorts \u2014 one that places confidence in his leadership, his policies, and his long-term vision for a more prosperous Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe electorate, especially in states like Kaduna, Adamawa, Taraba, and Edo, has rewarded the party for progress on the Renewed Hope Agenda. The reforms, though tough, are beginning to yield results, and the people can feel the impact where it matters most \u2014 in governance, infrastructure, and national cohesion,\u201d the party added.The party also stated that the opposition party has been demoralised.\u201cIt was a clean sweep. The Labour Party (LP), which rode a wave of social media momentum in 2023, recorded zero wins. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) also failed to register a single seat. This suggests that the media-fueled popularity of these parties has failed to translate into grassroots electoral strength or sustainable political structures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PDP, often the main rival to the APC, only managed a single seat in Oyo, while the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) held onto just one constituency in Kano \u2014 an expected result given their regional stronghold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAPGA, limited to the Southeast, took two seats in Anambra. But none of these shifts altered the larger picture: APC remains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2025\/08\/15\/inec-clears-sdp-candidates-for-by-elections-after-court-order\/\">Nigeria\u2019s dominant political<\/a> force heading into 2027.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpecial commendation must go to the National Chairman of the APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, whose strategic direction, organizational discipline, and visionary leadership played a crucial role in this sweeping success. This is his first major outing since becoming chairman, and the results are a testimony to his grassroots engagement and national outreach,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>APC Lagos spokesperson Seye Oladejo claimed party&#8217;s sweeping victories across 16 constituencies reflect public
