The ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC), has appointed Professor Nentawe Yilwatda as its National Chairman. This marks a fresh chapter in the party’s leadership.
The 56-year-old technocrat and politician was chosen through consensus and backed by President Bola Tinubu and APC governors.
President Tinubu had, earlier, on Wednesday met with the APC Governors to intimate them about the direction of the National Executive Committee, (NEC) meeting of the party held on Thursday in Abuja.
Chairman, Progressive Governors Forum, Hope Uzodinma of Imo state, moved the motion at the party’s NEC meeting and was seconded by Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajuddin Abbas.
Yilwatda, who, until his new position, was the Minister for Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, hails from Plateau State.
He succeeds Umar Ganduje, who voluntarily resigned his appointment early this month, citing health challenges. Yilwatda has already been sworn into office.
