APC leadership and internal party developments

Overview

All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda has recently focused on party unity and leadership recognition. In late August 2026, Yilwatda was named the Daily Times Nigeria @100 Politician of the Year. During the same period, he issued a public apology on behalf of the APC National Working Committee to members dissatisfied with the party’s internal primary processes for the 2027 general elections, urging members to treat these issues as “internal family matters.”

By early September 2026, Yilwatda commenced a two-week international vacation following his first year in office. The party stated the break is intended for rest and re-strategizing ahead of the 2027 elections and the implementation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” agenda. The APC noted that party operations will continue under the National Working Committee during his absence.
