Ondo State governor, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has described Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda’s emergence as the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as a great turning point for the party.
Yilwatda was unanimously endorsed as national chairman by members of the National Executive Council of the APC in Abuja last Thursday.
Governor Aiyedatiwa and other governors on the APC platform met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa last Wednesday, where they discussed various national issues, including the recent developments in the party.
Speaking after the recent APC NEC meeting, Governor Aiyedatiwa commended the party’s leadership for the rancour-free process that led to Prof. Yilwatda’s selection as National Chairman.
The Governor expressed optimism that the party, under Prof. Yilwatda, will only get stronger and record overwhelming victories in the coming electoral contests across the country.
According to him, “The All Progressives Congress, APC, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, got a brand new National Chairman in the just concluded National Executive Council meeting held in Abuja.
“That remains a beautiful turning point for our great party. This has set us in motion for overwhelming victories in the forthcoming elections at all levels in the country.
“Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda’s emergence signals hope as his ability to organise, re-engineer and reposition the APC is never in doubt. He possesses the carriage to increase the harvest of members that has been orchestrated by Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, the immediate past chairman of our party.
“I congratulate the leader of our party, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a man with a special penchant for sourcing stars. President Tinubu has shown this ingenuity over the years, and it has become his trademark.
“On behalf of the APC faithful in Ondo state, I salute the gallantry of Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda while pledging to support his blueprints for the progress of our party. The future is green for our party, and we have made a great choice that will rub off positively on the people of Nigeria.”
