After confirmation, Nentawe was immediately inaugurated, taking the oath of office at 14:50, before top party leaders, government officials, and stakeholders.
Yilwatda Nentawe, who came from the state of Plateau in the North Central Geopolitical Zone, was a candidate for the APC Governor in the 2023 general election before being appointed as Minister.
The emergence as a national party chairman indicates a new phase in the APC leadership structure, because it prepares political involvement that will come throughout the country.
