President Bola Tinubu and other party members attend the 15th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja.
The session commenced at 6:05 p.m. following the President’s arrival.
Friday’s gathering marks the party’s second NEC meeting in 2025, after an earlier session held in February. It is also the first since Prof Nentawe Yilwatda emerged as APC National Chairman in July.
The proceedings opened with a Christian prayer led by the Taraba State Governor, Kefas Agbu.
The meeting comes just days after the APC shifted its National Caucus and NEC meetings from 15–16 December to 18–19 December, with the NEC scheduled to hold at the Presidential Villa.
Our correspondent observed several governors and senior party figures at the venue, including serving APC governors, former governors, and principal officers of the National Assembly.
Also in attendance were six governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party who recently defected to the APC: Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah, Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri, Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno, and Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas.
The APC National Executive Committee is the party’s highest decision-making body between conventions, bringing together the President, Vice-President, National Chairman, National Working Committee, governors and other key stakeholders to make binding decisions on party administration, policy direction and preparations for future elections.
