In a major development within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda has emerged as the new National Chairman of the party.
His emergence follows a high-level consensus reached among key stakeholders and party leaders at a special meeting held in Abuja. Yilwatda, a former INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner and gubernatorial candidate in Plateau State, is known for his administrative acumen and loyalty to party values.
Party insiders say his emergence is part of a broader strategy to stabilize the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections and to strengthen internal cohesion across the six geopolitical zones.
Professor Yilwatda replaces the outgoing national chairman and is expected to hit the ground running by addressing internal party disputes, mobilizing for upcoming elections, and reinforcing the party’s national presence.
Congratulatory messages have begun pouring in from across the country, including governors, lawmakers, and grassroots party members who see his appointment as a unifying step for the APC.
Further updates are expected as he assumes duties in the days ahead.
