FULL LIST: APC Unveils New NWC at National Convention

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.

Delegates at the convention, held at the Eagle Square, also produced a new national working committee (NWC) through a consensus arrangement endorsed by stakeholders.

Ben Nwoye was named deputy national chairman (south), replacing Emma Eneukwu, following consultations within the party.

Sources within the party said the decision was influenced by zoning considerations and consultations among party leaders, with Peter Mbah, Enugu state governor, playing a significant role in ensuring Nwoye’s inclusion.

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 added that the new leadership would not “fail or falter” in carrying out its responsibilities.

President Bola Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, governors, members of the national assembly, and other party leaders graced the convention.
