\u201d I have confidence that Prof. Yitwatda has the wherewithal to transform the APC, strengthen unity among party members, and consolidate its hold on power at the centre as well as win more states in the 2027 general elections, \u201d he emphasized<\/p>\n

He also assured the new APC National Chairman of the unwavering support of the Niger State government towards ensuring his success in office.<\/p>\n
