What is APC?
The All Progressives Congress (APC) is one of Nigeria’s leading political parties, formed on 6 February 2013 through a merger of major opposition groups including the ACN, CPC, and ANPP.
It emerged as a formidable force in Nigerian politics, winning the presidency in 2015 with Muhammadu Buhari and again in 2023 with Bola Tinubu. The party promotes a centre-right ideology, focusing on federalism, social conservatism, and anti-corruption reforms.
Headquartered in Abuja, APC holds significant representation across Nigeria’s legislative and executive branches. It continues to shape national discourse through its policies and youth-focused initiatives like the newly launched internship programme.

The confirmation came after a closed-door NEC meeting held in Abuja on Thursday, July 24, where party leaders unanimously ratified his nomination through consensus.
Yilwatda, a former governorship candidate of the APC in Plateau State and an academic-turned-politician, succeeds Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, who resigned recently due to health concerns.
