APC Chairman Yilwatda Denies Protection for Members

Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), addressed allegations that the party protects its members from prosecution for corruption. During an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Yilwatda asserted that "nobody is protected in the APC," citing members who are currently undergoing prosecution.

He emphasized that the party cannot deny members their fundamental human rights to participate in elections due to strict prosecution. Yilwatda expressed confidence in President Bola Tinubu's chances in the presidential election scheduled for January 16, 2026, stating that internal polls indicate Tinubu will win.

He also remarked on the APC's advantage over opposition parties, particularly the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), which have not won elections before 2027. Additionally, Yilwatda discussed the benefits of a new tax law introduced by the President and the government's efforts to improve the power sector, assuring that current challenges are temporary.
