Mammoth crowd welcome Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda Home, as Kanke stood still in honour of a worthy son
Plateau State All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate and captain of #GenerationNext Movement, Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda with his wife and his running mate, Hon. Pam Bot-Mang, were on Thursday given a befitting homecoming ceremony at the Kanke Local Government Headquarters in Kwal, on his first visit to his hometown after winning the primaries in May, 2022.
Accompanied by a long convoy of local government chairmen, serving members of the State Assembly, various candidates of APC, elders and stakeholders, party faithful and supporters were greeted by a mammoth crowd of Kanke people who thronged out enmasse to receive the erudite professor turned politician, amidst pomp and pageantry.
Speakers at the event, including the State APC Chairman represented by the State Secretary, Hon. Fidelis Longban, Chairman of Bokkos who spoke on behalf of ALGON, Senator Philip Aduda, Hon. Innocent Tirsel, Hon. Wallok Goma, representatives of physically challenged, women and youths all showered accolades and extolled the towering credentials of the APC flag bearer. They unanimously appeal to Plateau voters to look no further than Nentawe in 2023 and gift the state a leader that will secure, unite and prosper its people.
While addressing the visibly cheering crowd, Dr. Yilwatda expressed gratitude to the APC and Plateau people for supporting his vision for Plateau State, assuring his listeners that the #GenerationNext Movement would restore hope and hand over a promising future to the next generation.
He charged his supporters to ignore the antics and propaganda of the opposition, as they had nothing to offer the state except phantom lies and blackmails. He further reiterated their commitment with his running mate to provide uncommon leadership and revolutionize governance on the Plateau when elected in 2023.
The Dungung born Professor of Computer Engineering and Digital Systems was later accompanied to his village where prayers of goodwill and success were offered by both the clergy and traditional leaders.
