IBADAN — A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and leading aspirant for the Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency, Hon. Akinola Kazeem Akinjide, has congratulated Professor Nentawe Yilwatda on his emergence as the new National Chairman of the party.
Professor Yilwatda, who also serves as the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, was ratified by the National Executive Council (NEC) as successor to Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the immediate past chairman and former Governor of Kano State.
In a statement personally signed by him, Hon. Akinola, a retired Army Captain, described the new chairman as a strategic thinker and bridge-builder whose leadership, he said, comes at a critical time in the life of the party.
“I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Professor Nentawe Yilwatda on his emergence as the National Chairman of our great party. His wealth of experience and deep knowledge of governance and party structure will be instrumental in sustaining unity, cohesion, and growth within the APC,” Akinola said.
He urged the new chairman to strengthen the synergy between the party’s national headquarters and its sub-national structures, adding that collaboration at all levels is key to the party’s long-term relevance and electoral success.
“As a party man and stakeholder, I am confident that Professor Yilwatda will work to bridge internal gaps, promote inclusive leadership, and uphold the progressive values on which the APC was founded,” he added.
Akinola also expressed his faith in the choice made by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other party leaders, stating that the confidence reposed in Yilwatda reflects the high expectations for a more united and people-focused party.
