The All Progressives Congress (APC) has appointed a new national chairman to pilot the affairs of the party.
The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, emerged as the ruling party’s national chair on Thursday.
Yilatda’s appointment was announced during the National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting of the APC at the presidential Villa.
He will replace Abdullahi Ganduje, who resigned last month due to health challenges.
