Tinubu said:

“More members are still coming. So, if we accommodate the congresses in December, that will be making room for those who are still coming.”

New APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, reinforced this strategy in a television interview, pledging to “do the legwork” to unite members and attract new supporters to strengthen the party’s dominance. “We have 23 governors, and we are still counting. Our job is to bring more,” he said.

N'Central promises six million votes

Already, the North Central APC Forum has promised to deliver six million votes for Tinubu’s re-election, citing appreciation for the return of the national chairmanship to the region.

PDP plots major comeback, vows to battle APC in 2027 amid defections

APC leaders say these figures are achievable through expanded membership, mass mobilisation, and the growing wave of defections from rival parties.

To support these targets, states like Delta, Enugu, Ebonyi, Bayelsa, Ekiti and Akwa Ibom have rolled out online registration portals, allowing both new and old members to join from their homes.

In Delta, the process aims to absorb thousands of former PDP members following Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s recent defection.

Party officials in Bayelsa and Enugu say they await final directives from the APC’s national leadership before launching their own drives.

Meanwhile, Ekiti and Akwa Ibom have already begun mobilising local chapters and ward leaders to speed up registrations.
