The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially commenced the screening of aspirants for its National Working Committee (NWC) positions as part of preparations for the party’s 2026 national convention.
The exercise, overseen by the party’s Aspirants’ Screening Committee, is designed to assess the eligibility, credentials, and capacity of candidates seeking key leadership roles within the NWC.
According to party stakeholders, the screening process ensures that only qualified and competent individuals are cleared to contest, in line with the APC constitution and established guidelines.
The initiative marks a critical step in the party’s broader efforts to strengthen its internal structure and ensure readiness for upcoming political engagements.
The screening also signals the APC’s commitment to a transparent and orderly convention, where new national officers are expected to emerge and shape the party’s strategic direction for the next electoral cycle.
In a notable moment during the exercise, the committee, chaired by Governor Biodun Oyebanji, formally screened the party’s National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, and invited him to take a bow in recognition of his leadership, highlighting his contributions to the party’s growth and cohesion.
