An All Progressives Congress (APC) group in Oyo State, the Emerging Leaders has heartily congratulated Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda on his emergence as the new National Chairman of the party.
The group in a communique issued at the end of its regular meeting held on Saturday, 6th September,
2025 in Ibadan described Yilwatda's election as timely and a welcome development for the much anticipated new lease of direction for the party's democratic dealings.
The Oyo APC block however frowned at the undemocratic conduct towards the selection of the candidate of the party for the August 16th Ibadan North Federal Constituency bye-election.
Following the dismal outcome of the poll, the body charged the national leadership of the party to address the root cause of the series of the failures in the party from the 2023 transitions by ensuring free, fair and credible congresses that would be appealing to the appreciable party members and supporters in the future electioneering.
The call according to the group is to guide against the repeat of the last (2023) sham congresses that resulted in massive and disgraceful loss of resources and fortunes of the party.
The congregation therefore demanded that 70 percent of the party's elective offices from the ward to national levels be conceded to the younger elements in the next party's selections to ensuring more effective and all-inclusive administration in the government.
Addressing rewarding system at the central level, the Emerging Leaders charged the national gladiators to look inward to correct the anomalies as to encourage and appease the committed members that are tirelessly working for the cohesion and progress of the party at the grassroots.
The gathering in its conclusion called on President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the regional and national leaders of the party to look beyond the state actors instigating disunity and fragmentation of the structure and enable the fresh thinkers for the lasting solution towards the success of the party in the 2027 general elections.
