The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially begun screening aspirants for its National Working Committee (NWC) positions as part of preparations for the party’s 2026 national convention.
The exercise, conducted by the party’s Aspirants’ Screening Committee, aims to assess the eligibility and credentials of candidates seeking key leadership roles within the NWC.
Party stakeholders say the screening ensures that only qualified and competent individuals are cleared to contest, in line with the APC constitution and guidelines.
The process marks a crucial step in reorganising and strengthening the party’s internal structure ahead of future political engagements, highlighting the APC’s readiness for the upcoming convention, where new national officers are expected to be elected to guide the party’s direction.
During the exercise, chaired by Biodun Oyebanji, the committee also screened the party’s National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, asking him to take a bow in recognition of his commendable leadership and contributions to the party.
