Nentawe Declares, No Appointment For Non-APC Members In 2027

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has declared that political appointments following the 2027 general elections will be strictly reserved for party loyalists rather than technocrats or professionals.

Nentawe emphasised that governance is inherently political and appointees must actively support the party that brought them to power.

According to Nentawe, all government appointees must be visible in grassroots politics and actively participate in party activities, stressing there was “nothing like technocrats” when it comes to political appointments.

Nentawe also highlighted that appointees must actively engage with the grassroots, asserting that political visibility is a requirement, not an option. He warned that the APC cannot rely solely on technocrats who do not participate in party mobilisation.

The chairman stressed the strategic importance of the North-West, describing the region as the party’s “vote bedrock.” He said youth engagement in the region remains central to the APC’s 2027 strategy, citing that nearly half of registered members are between 18 and 35 years old.
