Former Senate President, Senator Ahmad Lawan (Yobe North) has congratulated the new National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, urging members to rally behind him.
In a congratulatory message, which he personally signed, Lawan said “it is with immense pride and unyielding optimism” that he extended his warmest congratulations to Professor Nentawe Yilwatda on his “well-deserved election as the National Chairman of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), during Thursday’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
He said in this moment of Nigeria’s political existence, Professor Yilwatda’s ascent to this esteemed position embodies the spirit of purposeful and focused leadership that defines the APC’s commitment to progress and unity.
“As a distinguished academic, a passionate advocate for good governance, and a stalwart of our beloved party, Professor Yilwatda brings a wealth of intellectual rigour and practical insights to steer the APC towards greater heights.
He is confident that under Yilwatda’s guidance, the APC will continue to champion policies that uplift the marginalized, strengthen our democracy, and propel our nation towards sustainable prosperity.
“Let me also acknowledge the contributions of our former National Chairman, the former Governor of Kano state, His Excellency, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, whose tenure was marked by steadfast leadership and a deep commitment to advancing party cohesion and electoral success. I commend him for his service with the utmost respect and gratitude.
“Similarly, I must express my appreciation to the former Acting National Chairman, Hon. Ali Dalori, whose steady hand during the brief transitional period ensured that our party remained focused. His interim role was handled with great efficiency, and we are all better for it”.
Lawan urged all party members to rally behind Prof. Yilwatda and work together to build on the solid foundations laid by his distinguished predecessors, adding that “the APC’s future is bright”, and he is confident that “with collaborative spirit and renewed vigour, we will achieve even greater heights for our beloved country”.
