He added that the emergence of Professor Yilwatda comes at an important time in Nigeria’s political landscape and is expected to inspire optimism, stability and clear strategic direction for the ruling party at all levels.
He described the erudite scholar’s emergence as “a reaffirmation of the party’s commitment to progress, discipline and inclusive leadership”, expressing confidence in the new chairman’s capacity to steer the APC with vision, integrity and a renewed sense of unity ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“Professor Nentawe Yilwatda is not only an erudite scholar but also a man of deep principle and patriotic fervour. His emergence as National Chairman is a significant moment for our party, and I believe he has the competence and clarity to reposition the APC as a party of the people and for the people.
“His re-election, backed by the overwhelming mandate of party delegates, is a strong testament to the trust and confidence placed in his leadership, vast experience, and steadfast dedication to the growth and ideals of the APC. This well-deserved victory highlights his proven leadership, intellectual depth, and dedication to the Renewed Hope Agenda. With unity and discipline, our party poised for greater electoral success and national impact under Professor Yilwatda,” he said.
