The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has asserted that the ruling party operates independently of any governor’s influence.
The chairman emphasized that governors do not wield ultimate authority over the party; decisions are predominantly made at the national level.
He made these remarks while participating in the @Sunset programme on Jay FM in Jos, Plateau State.
“Across the country, nobody can take any section of the party. For anything you are going to do at the state level, it is planned at the National level. It is not planned at the state level. This is the APC structure and that is how we work.
“We work with structure. We don’t work with sentiments and emotions. Nobody has control over the party, even myself. No local government chairman has control over APC. No governor has control over APC. No senator or individual has control over APC,” the chairman stated.
Nentawe further explained that to prevent unnecessary conflicts, the party chose not to establish a board of trustees.
He emphasized, “That was why APC doesn’t have a board of trustees. APC is owned by the people. People are the trustees of APC. Unlike other political parties where some individuals control and hold the party’s structure in their hands. As a party chairman, there is no board of trustees supervising me. I supervise myself.
