A coalition within the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called for the renomination of its National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, ahead of the party’s forthcoming national convention.
The group, operating under the banner Move Forward with Nentawe Advocates, urged party leaders and stakeholders to unite in support of Yilwatda, citing his leadership performance since assuming office.
Speaking in Abuja, the group’s convener, Ezenwa A. A. Onyirimba, described the chairman as a “visionary leader and tested technocrat,” noting that he has demonstrated strong leadership qualities within a short period.
The group also appealed to Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other key figures in the ruling party to back Yilwatda’s return at the convention.
According to the statement, retaining him as chairman would strengthen the party’s internal structure and position it for success in the 2027 general elections.
Onyirimba revealed that consultations were already underway nationwide to mobilise support for the chairman, expressing confidence in his capacity to steer the party toward victory.
“With him at the helm, the APC remains stable and well-positioned to secure victory in 2027,” he said.
The group reaffirmed its commitment to promoting unity and credible leadership within the party, insisting that Yilwatda’s renomination would consolidate the APC’s gains and ensure continued political success.
