The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, Ph.D., GCON, has extended warm felicitations to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, on his birthday.
Speaker Abbas said Prof. Yilwatda, a former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, who marks his birthday on August 8, is a patriotic Nigerian who has excelled as a politician, academic, and technocrat.
The Speaker, in a congratulatory message through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi, noted that Prof. Yilwatda has brought his wealth of experience to the leadership and management of the ruling party.
While noting the peace and stability that the APC has recorded under Prof. Yilwatda as National Chairman, the Speaker said the ruling party has not only won successive elections but now has the significant majority of state governors in its fold.
Commending the APC National Chairman for providing the needed leadership to the National Working Committee, Speaker Abbas expressed confidence in Prof. Yilwatda to drive the party to victory in the coming off-cycle governorship election in Osun State and the 2027 general elections.
The Speaker prayed to God to grant the APC National Chairman longevity and strength, adding that Prof. Yilwatda needs divine grace and wisdom to unite the party before, during, and after the polls.
