The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Nentawe Yilwatda, has been elected as the new National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
His emergence followed a unanimous decision by members of the APC National Executive Committee (NEC) during a high-level meeting held Thursday in Abuja.
Yilwatda was nominated by Governor Hope Uzodimma, Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, and the motion was seconded by Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen.
The nomination was subsequently adopted through a voice vote, with NEC members giving overwhelming approval.
His election comes at a pivotal moment for the ruling party, as it seeks to strengthen internal cohesion and reposition for upcoming electoral cycles.
