Convention: APC may settle for Yilwatda, Basiru - Punch Newspapers

AI Summary

The All Progressives Congress is expected to retain Prof Nentawe Yilwatda as national chairman and Dr Ajibola Basiru as national secretary at its upcoming national convention, according to senior party officials speaking anonymously. About 20 current officeholders are seeking re‑election to the National Working Committee and are lobbying governors and other stakeholders for support ahead of the March 27–28 convention. The party’s Deputy National Organising Secretary, Nze Duru, said a consensus arrangement has been adopted to promote unity and a peaceful convention. The Convention Planning Committee, chaired by former Katsina State Governor Aminu Masari, is overseeing the process, which follows the completion of most ward and local government congresses.
