President Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended the 15th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja. The session began at 6:05 pm upon the President’s arrival.
This marks the APC’s second NEC gathering in 2025, following the February session, and the first since Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda was elected APC national chairman in July. The meeting was preceded by an opening Christian prayer led by Taraba State Governor Kefas Agbu.
Our correspondent observed the presence of several serving and former governors, top party chieftains, and principal officers of the National Assembly. Notably, six governors who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC also attended, including 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 NEC, the party’s highest decision-making body between conventions, brings together the President, Vice President, national chairman, members of the National Working Committee, governors, and other key stakeholders. It is tasked with taking binding decisions on party administration, policy direction, and preparations for upcoming elections.
The meeting comes shortly after the APC rescheduled its National Caucus and NEC sessions from December 15–16 to December 18–19, holding the NEC at the Presidential Villa.
