APC Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda Meets PDP Deputy Women Leader Hamsatu Adamu
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.
In a statement shared on his 𝕏 account on Friday, Yilwatda said their discussions focused on the need for national unity and the future of Nigeria.
He stressed that, despite political differences, 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. 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,” he wrote.
The APC Chairman added that he remains committed to engaging all patriotic Nigerians in the collective task of building a stronger, more united and more prosperous Nigeria, hinting at further meetings with other opposition leaders.
Meanwhile, a faction of the 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 leadership crisis.
The faction’s National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, said INEC acknowledged receipt of the documents, despite claims that the group was denied access to electronic submission codes.
Ememobong maintained that the faction represents the authentic PDP leadership, citing a Supreme Court judgment that left the party without a legally recognised national executive, prompting the Board of Trustees and a requisitioned National Executive Committee to establish an interim structure.
