Newly sworn in National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, presided over the 178th regular meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) on Wednesday 13 August, 2025.
At the meeting, important issues were discussed including, preparation for the legislative bye-elections scheduled for this Saturday 16 August, 2025 across twelve (12) states.
While the ‘Broom’ Party are gearing up for the exercise, the Labour Party (LP) are still brawling with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the omission of the names of the ‘Papa, Mama and Pikin’ Party’s candidates.
Labour Party has sternly warned, if the country’s electoral body excludes its candidates, then, it “risks nullification of the polls.”
