Senator Plang Celebrates APC National Chairman At 57

Chairman of the Senate Committee on Labour, Employment and Productivity and the senator representing Plateau Central Senatorial District, Senator Diket Satso Plang, has joined political leaders, associates and well-wishers to celebrate the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, on his 57th birthday

In a message he signed, Plang described the APC national chairman as a visionary leader whose life story is a shining example of perseverance, humility, and service to humanity. He noted that Yilwatda’s modest upbringing, from his days at Boys Secondary School, Gindiri, has shaped his values and leadership approach, enabling him to remain grounded even as he occupies one of the highest positions in the ruling party.

The lawmaker recalled with nostalgia their early years together in school, when Yilwatda’s humility, accessibility, and fear of God were already evident.

According to him, these qualities have continued to guide the APC chairman, helping him build bridges of understanding and trust across Nigeria’s diverse ethnic, tribal, and religious divides.

“Your humble background has never been a setback but rather a source of immense strength and resilience,” Senator Plang said. “It is a testament to your capacity to overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and achieve outstanding results. This uncommon blend of character and competence has distinguished you as a leader committed to unity, inclusivity, and the advancement of our great party.”

Senator Plang further lauded Professor Yilwatda for his dedication to the ideals of democracy, his unwavering service to the APC, and his commitment to nation-building, noting that these qualities will be critical in steering the party to greater heights.

“As you celebrate this milestone, I join your family, friends, colleagues, and millions of admirers across Nigeria in acknowledging your contributions to political stability and social cohesion,” he added.

“I pray that Almighty God blesses you with continued wisdom, sound health, and the strength to discharge your duties with distinction. Congratulations on your 57th birthday and your recent appointment as national chairman of our great party.”
