The National Chairman of Nigeria’s All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, begins a two-week vacation outside the country. The party says the leave starts following what it describes as an “exceptionally demanding and eventful” first year in his tenure.
APC’s position is conveyed in a statement signed by Abimbola Tooki, the National Chairman’s Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy. Both outlets report that the purpose of the trip and leave is to provide time for rest and recovery after a year of work. The coverage frames the timing as occurring ahead of preparations leading toward the 2027 elections, though neither source provides details of any political activities associated with the vacation.
No additional actions by Yilwatda during the leave are described in the reports, and both accounts rely on the same party statement for the explanation of the absence.
