The All Progressives Congress (APC) has concluded its 8th national convention in Abuja — reaffirming Nentawe Yilwatda as national chairman and Ajibola Basiru as its secretary.
Through a consensus agreement supported by stakeholders, delegates to the convention, which took place at Eagle Square, also created a new national working committee (NWC).
After internal discussions, Emma Eneukwu was replaced as deputy national chairperson (south) by Ben Nwoye.
According to APC sources, zoning issues and discussions among party officials had an impact on the choice, and Peter Mbah, the governor of Enugu state, was crucial in guaranteeing Nwoye’s participation.
In his acceptance speech, Yilwatda said his re-election was a call to greater service and pledged commitment to unity within the ruling party.
“We are ready to serve, ready to lead, and we are ready to build the party, together with the nation,” he said.
He promised that the new leadership would not “fail or falter” in carrying out its responsibilities.
The convention was attended by national assembly members, governors, Vice President Kashim Shettima, President Bola Tinubu, and other party leaders.
