Governor Abiodun Extends Congratulations to APC Leadership Following National Convention
Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has formally congratulated the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, on his successful re-election during the party's 8th National Convention. The significant political gathering took place at Eagle Square in Abuja, drawing an impressive attendance of over 8,000 delegates from across the nation. Observers and participants widely characterized the convention as both peaceful and credible, marking a notable event in the party's democratic processes.
Comprehensive Praise for National Working Committee Members
In addition to congratulating Professor Yilwatda, Governor Abiodun extended his felicitations to other key members of the National Working Committee (NWC) who were re-elected or newly appointed. This distinguished group includes Ali Dalori, Benjamin Nwoye, Ajibola Basiru, and AbdulKarim Kana. Through a statement released from Abeokuta, the governor emphasized the unity and democratic strength demonstrated by the APC during the convention proceedings.
Governor Abiodun specifically highlighted Professor Yilwatda's emergence as a direct reflection of his effective and impactful leadership since assuming the role of National Chairman in July 2025. He noted that the chairman's tenure has been marked by strategic initiatives and cohesive party management, which contributed to his re-election.
Confidence in Future Achievements and Electoral Preparations
Expressing strong confidence in the newly constituted NWC, Governor Abiodun asserted that this leadership team is well-positioned to guide the APC toward greater accomplishments. He pointed out that this is particularly crucial as the party begins early preparations for the upcoming 2027 general elections, underscoring the importance of stable and experienced leadership during this critical period.
The governor further commended the transparent and orderly process that led to the election of the party's leadership, stating that it reaffirms the APC's unwavering commitment to democratic principles and good governance. This, he argued, sets a positive precedent for internal party democracy and strengthens the party's credibility among its members and the general public.
