APC Chairman Yilwatda Reveals Cash Transfer Program Reach
Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), announced that over 10 million vulnerable Nigerians have benefited from the N75,000 conditional cash transfer program, yet they do not have access to mobile phones or social media. He made this statement on Saturday while addressing journalists after a three-day retreat of the APC's National Executive Council (NEC) in Maiduguri, Borno State.
Yilwatda highlighted various projects executed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration, including road infrastructure and student loans, alongside humanitarian efforts like the cash transfer program. He expressed condolences to the people of Niger State for the loss of 37 miners and affirmed the party's strength and readiness for the 2027 general elections.
The NEC passed a vote of confidence in President Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, and emphasized the importance of reconciliation within the party to consolidate gains from previous elections.
