Speaking after the ceremony, Yilwatda praised President Bola Tinubu, describing him as “one of the best politicians you can learn from.”
“I’m learning from the best leader, Asiwaju Tinubu. Mr President is one of the best politicians you can learn from, and since adopting me as his son, I’ve learned so much from him,” Yilwatda said.
In a demonstration of support for local agriculture, Yilwatda donated ₦10 million, seedlings and other farm inputs to farmers in Kanke LGA, aligning with President Tinubu’s efforts to boost food production and reduce poverty.
He also expressed optimism about the recent defection of Governor Caleb Mutfwang to the APC, noting that alignment of government and party structures under one platform would benefit Plateau State.
“The person that comes into the APC today has equal rights with someone who has been there for a thousand years, because we do not differentiate among our members,” Yilwatda said.
“As a government steps in with its supporters, we will have one single family that will work together for the benefit of Plateau.”
Our correspondent reports that this is the second traditional title bestowed on Yilwatda in less than two weeks.
