President Bola Tinubu is attending the 15th National Executive Committee meeting of the All Progressives Congress at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja.

The session began at 6:05 pm when the President arrived at the hall.

Friday’s meeting is the party’s second NEC gathering in 2025, following an earlier session held in February.

It is also the first NEC meeting since Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda emerged as the APC national chairman in July.

An opening prayer was led by the Taraba State Governor, Kefas Agbu, who offered the Christian prayer.

The meeting comes days after the APC rescheduled its National Caucus and NEC meetings from December 15–16 to December 18–19, with the NEC holding at the Presidential Villa.

Our correspondent sighted several governors and top party chieftains at the venue, including serving APC governors, former governors and principal officers of the National Assembly.

Also present were the six governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party who recently defected to the APC, 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 National Executive Committee is the party’s highest decision-making organ between conventions.

It brings together the President, Vice President, national chairman, members of the National Working Committee, governors, and other key stakeholders to take binding decisions on party administration, policy direction and preparations for future elections. (The PUNCH)
