Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, a prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has commended the successful conclusion of the party’s national convention, which produced a new National Executive Committee (NEC) led by Professor Netanwe Yilwatda.
In a statement, Araraume attributed the peaceful conduct of the convention and the seamless emergence of the NEC to the firm leadership, wise counsel, and tireless leadership style of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He noted that these qualities have continued to strengthen the APC and position it for greater unity and progress.
Focusing on the National Chairman, Professor Yilwatda, Araraume stated that his return to office reflects his proven leadership style, characterized by inclusivity, discipline, and strategic vision. He emphasized that expectations are now high for the chairman to build on this foundation.
“The National Chairman must leverage the very leadership style that brought him back to consolidate the party’s unity and deliberately create room for new entrants into the APC,” Araraume said. “His responsible leadership will, in turn, produce responsible party faithful—men and women of integrity, competence, and vision—who will champion the future of Nigeria and secure victory for the party in the coming elections.”
Araraume further urged the new NEC to sustain the current momentum by organizing credible party primaries that will produce candidates for the 2027 general elections, while also opening the party’s doors to new stakeholders.
