In a statement on X on Friday, Yilwatda called the past year one of “immense responsibility, purposeful service and collective accomplishment.” He credited the party's success to the unity and hard work of its members across Nigeria.
“It has been a year of immense responsibility, purposeful service and collective accomplishment, driven by an unwavering commitment to strengthen our party and advance the ideals that unite us,” he stated.
Yilwatda thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his support. He also appreciated the party's National Working Committee, governors, elected leaders, party heads, stakeholders, and members for their loyalty and hard work.
“I express my sincere appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for his confidence, steadfast support and exemplary leadership. My gratitude equally goes to members of the National Working Committee, our governors, elected representatives, party leaders, stakeholders and the millions of loyal APC members across Nigeria whose commitment, sacrifice and belief have made our progress possible,” he said.
Looking back at his first year, Yilwatda noted that the party focused on unity, strengthening its structures, and promoting inclusion and collective responsibility.
“Over the past twelve months, we have worked deliberately to consolidate unity, strengthen the institutional foundations of our party, expand consultations and foster a culture of inclusion, accountability and shared responsibility. Together, we have demonstrated that when the APC stands united, it remains the strongest and most formidable political platform in Nigeria,” he said.
He also mentioned the party's electoral wins as proof of Nigerians' trust in its leadership and vision.

As he looks forward, Yilwatda promised to improve internal democracy, modernize party management, and engage more with party members to support President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“This anniversary is more than a moment of reflection; it is a renewed call to greater service. We will continue to strengthen internal democracy, modernise party administration, deepen engagement with our members and position the APC for even greater success as we advance and support the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he noted.
