The All Progressives Congress has thanked Nigerians for their decisive support, which resulted in the massive triumph of its candidates in Saturday’s legislative by-elections conducted across 12 states.

APC spokesman Felix Morka, in a statement on Sunday, attributed the party’s victory at the election to the endorsement of President Bola Tinubu’s leadership.

“This win is yet another solid endorsement of President Tinubu’s administration and its Renewed Hope Agenda, designed to deliver by Nigerians. Now steadily delivering transformation of our country’s economy and other sectors of our national life,” the statement said.

APC commended Mr Tinubu and leaders of the APC for creating a level playing field for the by-election contest.

The statement also commended the Progressive Governors’ Forum, as well as devoted party leaders, members, and supporters, for their sacrificial efforts and contributions towards the party’s electoral victory.

“Our hearty congratulations go to our victorious candidates across the country, and we charge them to reward their constituents with purposeful legislative interventions that translate Renewed Hope Agenda to meaningful benefits for the people.

“We specially congratulate our National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, on this crucial first dominant victory under his eminent leadership. It is a strong pointer to greater things to come,” said the ruling party.

APC applauded INEC for its successful conduct of the by-elections and hailed security agencies for maintaining peace and order, despite cases of election violence and voter suppression in some districts.

The party thanked the electorate and urged Nigerians to sustain their support for the APC and Mr Tinubu as he continued to pave a clear and steady path of prosperity for this and future generations.
