Lawan hails Yilwatda’s emergence as APC boss

By John Ogunsemore

Former Senate President Ahmad Lawan has described Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda’s election as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as well-deserved.

This is contained in a statement personally signed by Lawan on Friday.

He said, “In this moment of our nation’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. 

“Under his guidance, I am confident that the APC will continue to champion policies that uplift the marginalized, strengthen our democracy, and propel our nation towards sustainable prosperity.”

Lawan also acknowledged the contributions of the party’s former chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, to the party’s growth, noting that his tenure was marked by steadfast leadership and a deep commitment to advancing party cohesion and electoral success. 

He added, “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.

“As we embrace this new phase, let us rally behind Prof. Yilwatda and work together to build on the solid foundations laid by his distinguished predecessors. 

“The APC’s future is bright, and I am confident that with collaborative spirit and renewed vigour, we will achieve even greater heights for our beloved country.”
