The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, has congratulated the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, on his re-election at the party’s 8th National Convention.

The convention, which took place at the Eagle Square in Abuja, was attended by over 8,000 delegates and was described as peaceful and credible.

Governor Abiodun also extended his congratulations to other newly elected members of the National Working Committee (NWC), including Ali Dalori, Benjamin Nwoye, Ajibola Basiru, and AbdulKarim Kana.

In a statement issued in Abeokuta, the Governor praised the conduct of the convention, noting that it demonstrated the party’s unity and democratic strength.

He described Professor Yilwatda’s emergence as a reflection of his effective leadership since assuming office in July 2025.

Abiodun expressed confidence that the newly constituted NWC would lead the party to greater achievements, particularly as preparations begin for the 2027 general elections.

He added that the transparent process that produced the party’s leadership reaffirmed the APC’s commitment to democracy and good governance.
