The new National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Yilwatda Nentawe, has pledged to work to unite all the organs and participants of the party nationwide.
“I pledge without hesitation that I will work with everybody in the party…I will expand the party with you,” said Nentawe in his acceptance speech at the 14th APC NEC meeting, where he was named Chairman.
The meeting was held at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja, on Thursday.
Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, who chairs the Progressive Governors’ Forum, announced the motion for the zoning of the party chairmanship to the North Central.
He then moved for Nentawe’s nomination as party Chairman.
The motion was seconded by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas.
Nentawe, who hails from Plateau State, North Central Zone, was the APC’s Governorship candidate in the 2023 election.
