Tinubu Has Adopted Me As His Son, I’m Learning Politics From The Best – APC Chairman Yilwatda

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as his political mentor, revealing that the Nigerian leader has taken him under his wing and is actively guiding him in the art of politics.

Speaking on Saturday after receiving the traditional title of “Kaeh-rit,” which translates to “the good seed of Ampang East,” in Plateau State, Yilwatda expressed deep appreciation for the president’s mentorship. According to Ireporter Online, he noted that President Tinubu represents the highest standard of political leadership in the country and remains the ideal figure from whom to learn.

Yilwatda stated that the president has played a direct role in shaping his political growth, adding that any success recorded in his career is largely influenced by the lessons he continues to receive from Tinubu. He described the president as one of the finest politicians Nigeria has ever produced and expressed optimism about following a similar path of excellence in national politics.

The APC chairman further disclosed that he is confident the recent defection of Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, to the ruling party would bring positive developments to the state. He stressed that the APC remains an inclusive platform, assuring members that everyone enjoys equal rights and opportunities within the party structure.

Yilwatda’s recognition comes amid growing acknowledgment of his political and humanitarian contributions, as the Tiv Nation in Benue State had earlier honoured him with a traditional title in appreciation of his services to humanity.
