Tinubu, Shettima, Akpabio, Governors In Attendance As APC Holds 15th NEC Meeting
President Bola Tinubu is attending the 15th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja.
The session commenced at 6:05 PM with the President’s arrival.
Friday’s meeting marks the party’s second NEC gathering in 2025, following an earlier session in February. It is also the first NEC meeting since Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda assumed office as APC national chairman in July.
The meeting opened with a Christian prayer led by Taraba State Governor Kefas Agbu.
The gathering comes shortly after the APC rescheduled its National Caucus and NEC meetings from December 15–16 to December 18–19, with the NEC taking place at the Presidential Villa.
Our correspondent observed the presence of several governors and senior party figures, including serving and former governors, as well as principal officers of the National Assembly.
Also in attendance were six governors who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 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 Kefas Agbu.
The APC National Executive Committee is the party’s highest decision-making body between conventions. It brings together the President, Vice President, national chairman, members of the National Working Committee, governors, and other key stakeholders to make binding decisions on party administration, policy direction, and preparations for upcoming elections.
