President Bola Tinubu is presiding over the 15th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja.
The meeting commenced at about 6:05 p.m. with the arrival of the President. Vice President Kashim Shettima and Senate President Godswill Akpabio were also in attendance.
Friday’s session is the APC’s second NEC meeting in 2025, following the one held in February, and the first since Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda assumed office as the party’s national chairman in July.
The opening prayer was led by Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, who offered the Christian prayer.
The meeting comes days after the party adjusted the schedule of its National Caucus and NEC meetings from December 15–16 to December 18–19, with the NEC session taking place at the Presidential Villa.
Several governors and senior party figures were sighted at the venue, including serving and former APC governors, as well as principal officers of the National Assembly.
Also present were six governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party who recently defected to the APC. They include 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 NEC is the party’s highest decision-making body between national conventions. It comprises the President, Vice President, national chairman, members of the National Working Committee, governors and other key stakeholders, and is responsible for taking binding decisions on party administration, policy direction and electoral preparations.
