The Chairman, House Committee on Information and National Orientation and Member representing Ekiti Central Federal Constituency, Hon. Steve Olusola Fatoba, has extended heartfelt congratulations to Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda on his election as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the development as a pivotal moment for the party’s revival and strategic repositioning.

In a statement from the National Assembly, Hon. Fatoba hailed Professor Yilwatda’s emergence as a reaffirmation of the APC’s readiness to chart a bold, reform-driven future anchored on integrity, inclusivity, and intellectual strength.

He praised the party’s leadership for the consensus that produced Yilwatda, noting that his pedigree as an academic, technocrat, and public servant equips him with the clarity and competence required to lead the APC through a period of necessary transformation.

“At this defining moment in our political evolution, the choice of Professor Yilwatda is both timely and symbolic,” Hon. Fatoba stated. “It signals a deliberate shift towards credible, value-driven leadership that can inspire confidence among Nigerians—especially the youth—and reposition our party as a beacon of national renewal.”

Hon. Fatoba further described the new APC Chairman as a man of sound intellect and strategic foresight whose experience in governance and education will help realign the party’s priorities and reconnect it with grassroots expectations.

He emphasized the need for party members across all levels to rally behind the new Chairman in the collective task of restoring the APC’s identity as a platform for progress, unity, and responsive governance.

“This is a call to duty for all true progressives. We must support Professor Yilwatda in reenergizing our structures, communicating our vision clearly to Nigerians, and ensuring that the APC remains a dynamic force for development and democracy,” Fatoba said.

Reaffirming his commitment to the success of the new party leadership, Hon. Fatoba pledged the collaboration of the House Committee on Information and National Orientation in shaping effective communication strategies and promoting the party’s core ideals.

“I join millions of our party faithful in wishing Professor Yilwatda a successful tenure. May his leadership usher in an era of innovation, unity, and renewed hope for our great party and our nation,” he concluded.
