APC Chairman Meets PDP Deputy Women Leader
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, revealed that he recently met with Mrs. Hamsatu Adamu, the Deputy National Women Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) faction aligned with Kabiru Turaki.
In a statement posted on his 𝕏 account on Friday, Yilwatda said the discussion 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 added that he intends to hold further meetings with other opposition leaders to foster a stronger, more united and prosperous Nigeria.
PDP Leadership Crisis Continues
Separately, a faction of the PDP announced that 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.
National Publicity Secretary of the Interim National Working Committee, Ini Ememobong, told reporters that INEC acknowledged receipt of the documents, even though the faction claims it was denied access to electronic submission codes.
Ememobong maintained that this faction represents the authentic leadership of the PDP, citing a Supreme Court judgment that left the party without a legally recognised national leadership, which prompted the Board of Trustees and a requisitioned National Executive Committee meeting to establish an interim structure.
