Tinubu will not regret appointment of Yilwatda as Minister – Plateau APC Elders – The Nation Newspaper
The Plateau All Progressives Congress (APC) Elders Committee has assured President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not regret the appointment of Professor Nentawe Yiltwada as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation based on his pedigree and sound academic background.
They also distanced themselves from the purported statement by a group “Progressive Volunteers for Tinubu” castigating the appointment on the premise that the ministry ought to have been given to a woman.
The APC elders, in a statement by Plateau Chairman Ambassador Danladi Wuyep
said the euphoria that filled the appointed was an indication that Professor Yiltwada was a man of the people who has impacted so much on those who crossed his path, adding that his choice as Minister was never a mistake but well deserved. Related News
“Yiltwada appointment is a recognition of loyalty, patriotism, and dedication all along. The appointment is a well-deserved one that we in the elders committee in Plateau believe will further spur him to do more for his country, Nigeria. He is an exceptional individual with impeccable character and integrity, coupled with a sound academic background.
“It is therefore heartwarming that President Tinubu decided to choose Prof. Nentawe to occupy that exalted office and, as such, a great honour to him, as well as the people of Plateau State. Prof. Nentawe’s appointment will in no small way re-invigorate, re-energise, and reposition the APC on the Plateau since he will represent the state at the Federal Executive Council,” they stated.
They assured President Tinubu that he will not regret appointing Nentawe as a Minister based on his track record and experiences as a humanitarian, an astute administrator and a reputed academician
