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. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-09: APC Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda begins two-week vacation APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda has begun a two-week international vacation to rest and re-strategize for the 2027 general elections following a busy first year in office. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/apc-chairman-nentawe-yilwatda-begins-two-week-vacation ### 2026-08-21: APC Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda receives award and apologizes to party members APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda has been named Politician of the Year by Daily Times Nigeria and has issued a public apology to party members over grievances regarding internal primary processes. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/apc-chairman-nentawe-yilwatda-receives-award-and-apologizes-to-party-members --- Cite as: APC leadership and internal party developments.
