The Director of Finance, Hadejia-Jama’are River Basin Development Authority, Dr Musa Illiyasu Kwankwaso, has said the tenacity, patience and inclusive leadership of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, have been the beacons upon which the party has strengthened its position as the most populous political party in the country.
Kwankwaso made the submission while congratulating Yilwatda on the occasion of his 58th birthday anniversary, marked on Friday, 8 August, 2026.
He acknowledged Yilwatda’s commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his efforts towards advancing good governance, democratic values and national development, insisting the National Chairman had already positioned the party as the winning party in the next general elections.
He described Yilwatda as a dedicated leader whose contributions to the development and strengthening of the APC have continued to promote unity, inclusiveness and internal democracy within the party.
Kwankwaso said Yilwatda’s efforts towards consolidating the party’s structures, expanding its membership base and positioning it for greater electoral success had already yielded positive results, noting that virtually all Nigerian governors were now in the party.
He prayed that God would grant the APC National Chairman many more years in good health, wisdom and strength, while wishing him continued success in his service to the party and the nation.
Kwankwaso assured that in the North, the party chairman should rest easy, stating that Northerners had, on the basis of President Tinubu’s good governance, agreed to massively vote for him and all other party candidates.
He said in Kano, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, all three senatorial candidates, House of Representatives candidates and State Assembly candidates would surely secure victory, and further thanked the National Chairman of the APC for his wisdom in keeping the party as one family.
