Through his chief press secretary, Sir Tersoo Kula, Alia said, “I heartily congratulate the Leader of our great party and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for providing the visionary leadership that ensured the successful planning and seamless execution of the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held on March 27, 2026.

“The amicable ratification of all proceedings leading to the convention, from the ward, local government, state and zonal congresses, accentuates the strength, unity and internal democracy of our great party.

“This achievement is an expression of conviction to purposeful leadership and a shared commitment to progress,” he said.

The governor, in a press statement issued by the media aide yesterday, congratulated the national chairman of the party, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and all other affirmed party officials across various levels on their emergence as substantive leaders of the party.

He charged them to justify the confidence reposed in them by party members, urging them to remain steadfast in upholding the integrity, discipline, and sanctity of their offices, while working diligently to strengthen party cohesion and advance the ideals of the APC.

Alia stated that the expectations of Nigerians and party faithful are high, adding that, “I am confident that under your collective leadership, the party will continue to grow stronger and deliver on its mandate.”
