Gombe State Governor and Chairman of the Northern Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has congratulated the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, on his 58th birthday.

The governor described Prof Yilwatda’s birthday as an opportunity to celebrate his contributions to the APC and his service to Nigeria.

The congratulatory message was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by Ismaila Uba Misilli, Director-General, Press Affairs, Government House, Gombe.

Alh. Inuwa Yahaya, who congratulated the APC chairman on behalf of the government and people of Gombe State and the party’s members in the state, praised Prof Yilwatda for what he described as purposeful leadership since assuming the national chairmanship of the party.

He said the APC chairman had brought political maturity, inclusiveness, discipline and innovation to the management of the party.

The governor also commended Prof. Yilwatda for drawing on his background in academia, public administration and technology to strengthen the party’s structures and improve its institutional capacity.

According to him, the APC under Prof Yilwatda’s leadership has demonstrated its determination to build a cohesive and forward-looking political organisation capable of providing effective leadership for Nigeria.

“On behalf of the government and good people of Gombe State, as well as the APC family in the state, I heartily felicitate with our amiable National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, on the joyous occasion of his 58th birthday,” the governor said.

He added, “This milestone is a fitting moment to celebrate a life defined by service, excellence and commitment to the growth of our great party and the progress of our dear nation.”

The governor said Prof Yilwatda had, within a relatively short period as national chairman, demonstrated the capacity to lead the party through inclusive engagement and institutional reforms.

“Your unique blend of academic excellence, bureaucratic experience and technological expertise has continued to enrich our party and position it for greater accomplishments,” he said.

Alh Inuwa Yahaya expressed confidence that the APC would continue to strengthen its internal cohesion, expand its national reach and consolidate its political position under Prof Yilwatda’s leadership.

He assured the national chairman of the continued support and solidarity of the APC family in Gombe State.

The governor wished Prof Yilwatda many more years of service to the party and the country, while praying for his good health, wisdom, strength and divine guidance in the discharge of his responsibilities.

He also prayed that the APC chairman would continue to contribute to the development of Nigeria’s democracy and the progress of the nation.
