Yilwatda: Tinubu Needs Second Term to Build on Progress

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, said President Bola Tinubu deserves another term to strengthen the economic reforms and infrastructure projects of his government.

He shared this message on X on Saturday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. This was during the reception for President Tinubu’s campaign team, where a large crowd came out to show their support for the President as the 2027 elections approach.

Yilwatda described the Tinubu-Shettima ticket as one of the strongest political partnerships in Nigeria’s history. He praised the President for his bold leadership and dedication to national growth.

He said Tinubu has shown the political strength to tackle tough national issues, like the removal of fuel subsidy and the economic problems he inherited.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a fearless leader, reformer and performer who has confronted daunting national challenges, from fuel subsidy removal to inherited economic difficulties,” Yilwatda said.

He pointed out that despite the challenges from the ongoing reforms, the government continues to push forward with significant infrastructure development, especially through major superhighway projects across Nigeria.

Yilwatda emphasized that having a consistent leadership would allow the government to build on its policies and ongoing projects.

“As we approach 2027, we must sustain these reforms and give our President the opportunity to consolidate his achievements,” he said.

Yilwatda also showed confidence in the support President Tinubu has in Rivers State. He noted that political leaders from different parties are ready to back the President.

He mentioned Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, as important figures expected to gather support for Tinubu’s re-election.

“Come January 2027, Rivers State will stand still as Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, mobilise the people to deliver massive votes for President Tinubu,” he said.

He added that the Renewed Hope Agenda remains the government’s development plan, and he is confident it will continue.

“Together, we will sustain the Renewed Hope Agenda and usher in a second term of greater prosperity for all Nigerians,” Yilwatda said.
