The President of the APC Global Integration Movement, Prince Adéníyì Olútìmehìn, has extolled the election of Professor Nentawe Yiltwada as the new National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the decision as a “political masterpiece” orchestrated by President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In a congratulatory statement issued at Abuja yesterday, Olútìmehìn hailed the strategic foresight that informed Professor Yiltwada’s emergence, noting that the move underscores President Tinubu’s unmatched political acumen in strengthening the party’s cohesion and national dominance.

“Prof. Yiltwada’s elevation ticks every critical box that fortifies the APC’s internal harmony and credibility,” Olútìmehìn stated. “He represents the North Central region, thereby ensuring geo-political balance; he is a man of unimpeachable integrity with no trace of corruption or moral encumbrance; at 56 years old, he bridges the generational divide between the old guard and youthful dynamism. As a Christian, he provides religious inclusivity in the party’s leadership, while his loyalty remains untainted by the shackles of godfathers or gubernatorial baggage. Above all, he is a distinguished Professor whose intellectual depth and strategic intelligence will elevate the party’s leadership ethos.”

Olútìmehìn further emphasised that the appointment was not a mere administrative shuffle but a “deliberate political imprimatur” by President Tinubu to consolidate the APC as a more cohesive, inclusive, and strategically formidable platform with uncommon tenacity in delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda.

He urged Professor Yiltwada to leverage his strengths in order to re-energise the party from the grassroots upwards, foster inclusivity, and mobilise members nationwide for another sweeping victory in 2027 and beyond.

“The stakes are undeniably high, but Professor Yiltwada’s character, intellect, and humility uniquely position him to succeed,” Olútìmehìn said. “On behalf of the APC Global Integration Movement, I pledge our total and unwavering support for his leadership. With President Tinubu’s guidance and Prof. Yiltwada’s strategic depth, the APC will undoubtedly consolidate its gains and deliver even greater dividends to the Nigerian people.”

Olútìmehìn who doubled as the President of the Greater Lagos Initiative concluded with a rousing message of optimism; “Congratulations, Professor Nentawe Yiltwada. The journey ahead is demanding, but the future is bright. Your leadership will surely set the APC on a path of sustained excellence and progressive governance.”
