The new Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has vowed to take tough decisions in his position as the leader of the ruling party.
“The confidence they have in me is to make sure I take tough decisions but with gentility and teamwork for the collective interest of the party,” Yilwatda said on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme hours after he emerged as APC chair in Abuja.
Yilwatda, who likened his gentle mien to that of President Bola Tinubu, said he would consult broadly across the party’s organs and take tough decisions for the collective interest of the party.
“Of course, I will because that is what the president asked me to do and the members are asking me to do also,” he said.
“Look at the body language of Mr President; soft-talking, calm, gentle, but look at where he is driving the country, taking tough decisions, where people fear to even discuss.”
