APC Appoints Nentawe Yilwatda as New National Chairman

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has named Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, as its new National Chairman.

Yilwatda’s appointment was confirmed on Thursday during the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party in Abuja. He takes over from Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, who resigned from the position last month, citing health reasons.

Following Ganduje’s resignation, Deputy National Chairman (North), Ali Bukar Dalori, had been serving in an acting capacity. Many party stakeholders had anticipated that the NEC would ratify Dalori’s position and mandate him to organise an elective National Convention to choose a substantive chairman.

However, the NEC opted to install Yilwatda as the party’s new helmsman, ushering in a new chapter in the APC’s leadership structure ahead of key political realignments expected before the 2027 elections.
