APC has appointed Nentawe Yilwatda as its new National Chairman in Abuja.
The move signals renewed efforts to strengthen the party amid fresh defections and political shifts.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has chosen Nentawe Yilwatda as its new National Chairman. His selection came during the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party held in Abuja on Thursday.
Yilwatda, who currently serves as the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, was nominated by Governor Hope Uzodimma, who also leads the Progressive Governors’ Forum. The nomination was seconded by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen.
Following this, the NEC members present at the meeting approved the nomination through a voice vote.
Yilwatda’s appointment comes at a crucial time for the APC as the party continues efforts to strengthen its political base, especially at the federal level. The development also follows recent defections by governors in some states to the ruling party, further boosting APC’s influence across the country.
