APC Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda Meets PDP Deputy National Women Leader Hamsatu Adamu to Discuss National Unity
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, disclosed a recent meeting with the Deputy National Women Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) faction loyal to Kabiru Turaki, Mrs. Hamsatu Adamu.
Yilwatda shared the details via his 𝕏 account on Friday, stating that their discussions centered on the need for national unity and the future of Nigeria.
He added that, beyond political differences, both parties agreed that the peace, stability, and progress of Nigeria must remain a shared priority.
“I had a cordial meeting with Mrs. Hamsatu Adamu, Deputy National Woman Leader in the Kabiru Tanimu Turaki‑led PDP National Working Committee,” he wrote. “Our discussions centered on the need for national unity and the future of Nigeria. We agreed that, beyond political differences, the peace, stability, and progress of our nation must remain our shared priority.”
The APC Chairman also hinted at holding further meetings with other opposition party chieftains, saying he remains committed to engaging all patriotic Nigerians in the collective task of building a stronger, more united, and more prosperous Nigeria.
Meanwhile, a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) announced it had submitted the name of former President Goodluck Jonathan to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election, amid the party’s lingering leadership crisis.
Addressing a press conference late Thursday, the National Publicity Secretary of the Interim National Working Committee, Ini Ememobong, said INEC acknowledged receipt of the documents despite allegedly denying the faction access to electronic submission codes.
Ememobong maintained that the faction is the authentic leadership of the PDP, arguing that a Supreme Court judgment had left the party without a legally recognised national leadership.
According to him, this development prompted the party’s Board of Trustees and a National Executive Committee meeting convened through members’ requisition to establish an interim leadership structure.
