On Wednesday, October 23, Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, the newly appointed Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, visited Senator Simon Bako Lalong. This visit is seen as a gesture of thanks from Yilwatda to Lalong for his support.
Senator Lalong recently stepped down from his role as the Minister of Labour, Employment, and Productivity to become a Senator in the National Assembly. He has been a key supporter of Yilwatda, especially when Yilwatda secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket to run for Governor of Plateau State.
The meeting took place at Lalong’s home and highlights the strong relationship between the two politicians. Yilwatda’s visit underscores the gratitude he feels towards Lalong for the backing he has received throughout his political career.
