The All Progressives Congress (APC) has cleared its National Chairman, Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, alongside 29 other aspirants for various positions in the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) ahead of its National Convention scheduled for Saturday.
The screening and appeal exercise, chaired by Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, was conducted on Tuesday in Abuja, where aspirants were assessed based on their credentials, experience, and contributions to the party.
Among those screened and cleared are: Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda for National Chairman, Ajibola Basiru for National Secretary, Ali Bukar Dalori for Deputy National Chairman (North), Emma Eneukwu for Deputy National Chairman (South). Others are Felix Morka for National Publicity Secretary, Dayo Israel for National Youth Leader, Zainab Ibrahim for National Women Leader, Abubakar Kyari for Deputy National Chairman (North) among others.
Several other aspirants were also screened and cleared for positions including National Organising Secretary, National Treasurer, National Financial Secretary, National Welfare Secretary, and National Auditor, among others. A majority of the aspirants were asked to “take a bow and go,” a sign of consensus based on their previous service and contributions to the party, indicating that many of the positions may be uncontested at the convention.
The development underscores the APC’s push for unity and continuity as the party prepares to formally ratify its leadership at Saturday’s National Convention.
