The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has announced that the ruling party will officially welcome a new wave of defectors next week.

Speaking during a stakeholders’ meeting in Jos, Plateau State, Yilwatda disclosed that the incoming members include notable politicians who had earlier left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

According to him, the defectors have “completed their medicals” and will be formally unveiled as APC members in the coming week.

“Next week, I will be receiving some notable figures from the ADC. Some of those who earlier defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ADC are now returning to the APC,” Yilwatda stated.

Gossip News Now reports that the APC Chairman further revealed that another prominent political figure is also set to join the party within two weeks.

“In another two weeks, we will unveil yet another big name who has completed his medicals. He wanted to announce himself recently, and you may have seen it in the news, but officially, we’ll be receiving him soon,” Yilwatda added.

Explaining the attraction to the ruling party, Yilwatda described the APC as “the bride of the moment,” noting that many senators, governors, and lawmakers are defecting because the party treats all members equally, regardless of when they join.

“The beauty of the APC is that it welcomes everyone with open arms,” he said. “You don’t have to be a founding member to grow within the party. Once you join, you become a full member with equal rights and privileges. That’s the spirit of our constitution.”
