The newly appointed National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda has pledged to work diligently to build the party into a strong and respected political institution.
He made the call in his acceptance speech shortly after he was appointed as the Chairman at party’s NEC meeting in Abuja on Thursday.
Prof. Yilwatda, who will step down from his role as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, called for the support and cooperation of all party members.
”Let me express my profound gratitude to God and the party’s leadership, Mr. President, the governors, National Assembly members, and all NEC members, for entrusting me with this great responsibility at this pivotal time.
”Thank you for choosing me from among millions of party members. I will take this party to the next level.
“I do not take this mandate for granted. I accept it with gratitude and a complete sense of responsibility, determined to work with all of you to build and strengthen our party. We are all mechanics of this vehicle—the APC—and together, we will fix it and drive it to our destination.
“I pledge, without hesitation, to work with everyone in the party to unite, expand, and build the APC, with you as the focus and foundation. Your support is essential for us to fulfil the dreams of Nigerians who have placed their hope in the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“Lastly, I look up to the leadership and membership of the party to collectively fulfil the aspirations of Nigerians for the APC,” Prof. Yilwatda said.
