APC Chairman Meets PDP Deputy Women Leader
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, revealed that he held a cordial meeting with Mrs. Hamsatu Adamu, Deputy National Women Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) faction aligned with Kabiru Turaki.
Sharing the details on his 𝕏 account on Friday, Yilwatda said their conversation centred on the need for national unity and the future of Nigeria.
He stressed that, despite political differences, both leaders agreed that the peace, stability, and progress of the nation 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 further engagements with other opposition leaders, reiterating his commitment to work with all patriotic Nigerians toward building a stronger, more united, and more prosperous country.
Separately, a PDP faction announced it had submitted former President Goodluck Jonathan’s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election, citing the party’s ongoing leadership crisis.
The faction’s National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, said INEC acknowledged receipt of the documents, even though the group claims it was denied access to electronic submission codes. Ememobong maintained that this faction represents the authentic PDP leadership, pointing to a Supreme Court judgment that left the party without a legally recognised national executive.
He added that the situation prompted the Party’s Board of Trustees and a National Executive Committee meeting, convened via members’ requisition, to establish an interim leadership structure.
