Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has congratulated Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda and other newly affirmed members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing their emergence at the party’s National Convention in Abuja as a strong sign of unity and stability within the ruling party.

Governor Inuwa Yahaya said the smooth emergence of the new leadership through a consensus process reflected the APC’s growing internal harmony and collective resolve to strengthen its structure ahead of future political contests.

He described Prof. Yilwatda as a vibrant and visionary leader with the intellect, energy and political temperament needed to guide the party into a new phase of growth and consolidation.

According to the governor, the APC National Chairman embodies the kind of progressive leadership capable of inspiring confidence within the party and among Nigerians.

“Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda represents the new face of progressive leadership. He is dynamic, forward-looking, and deeply grounded in the ideals that define our great party,” Governor Inuwa said.

He added that Yilwatda’s emergence shows that the APC remains committed to renewal, reform and staying connected to the hopes and expectations of the Nigerian people.

Governor Inuwa further noted that the new chairman brings a rich blend of academic distinction, administrative experience and political understanding to the office, saying his early performances in the role have already shown promise.

He said Yilwatda’s appreciation of technology and innovation would also help reposition the party and strengthen its relevance in a rapidly changing political environment.

The governor also said the emergence of the new NWC points to a fresh phase for the APC, one that should focus on broadening inclusion, reinforcing discipline and sustaining the party’s democratic culture.

He urged party leaders, stakeholders, and members across the country to support the new leadership in order to preserve unity, maintain stability, and prepare the party for future electoral success, especially as political activities begin to gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Governor Inuwa Yahaya, who also serves as the Renewed Hope Ambassador and Secretary for Party Outreach and Engagement, commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as his strategic leadership and stabilising role in the success of the convention.

He said the president’s guidance was instrumental in building consensus, strengthening the party’s internal structures and keeping the APC on a path of cohesion and national political relevance.
