A Bold Declaration of Century Long Political Dominance

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has signaled its intent to remain the primary force in Nigerian politics for the next ten decades. Muhammad Gadaka, the Yobe State Chairman of the party, made this ambitious claim during the 2026 Yobe Leadership and Innovation Summit held in Damaturu. Gadaka’s assertion reflects a high level of confidence in the party’s current trajectory and its ability to outlast political cycles. He argued that the party is not merely focused on immediate electoral cycles but on a long-term vision that spans generations of governance.

Strategic Alignment for Sustained Governance

Speaking through the State Party Youth Leader, Muhammad Musa Gulani, Gadaka detailed the party's intent to control the federal, state, and local levels of government for the foreseeable future. The party is currently engaged in an internal review of its progress, seeking to refine its strategic direction and align its messaging with what Gadaka described as measurable impacts. This administrative focus is intended to ensure that the party remains relevant and responsive to the evolving needs of the Nigerian electorate over the next 100 years.

The Role of Continuity in National Development

A central theme of Gadaka’s address was the belief that meaningful national progress requires time and unbroken leadership. He suggested that the APC’s vision for a stronger nation is dependent on the continuity of its specific policies and programs. According to the party chieftain, the complexities of building a "great country" cannot be resolved in the short term, necessitating a commitment to sustained leadership. This perspective frames the APC’s prolonged stay in power as a mechanical necessity for achieving broad national goals.
