National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has said APC is not under the control of any governor.
According to Yilwatda, governors do not have ultimate control over the party as decisions are often made at the national level.
He said this when he spoke during @ Sunset programme, on Jay FM, Jos, Plateau State.
“Across the country, nobody can take any section of the party. For anything you are going to do at the state level, it is planned at the National level. It is not planned at the state level. This is the APC structure and that is how we work.
“We work with structure. We don’t work with sentiments and emotions. Nobody has control over the party, even myself. No local government chairman has control over APC. No governor has control over APC. No senator or individual has control over APC,” the chairman said.
He further said to avoid unnecessary crisis, they avoided forming a board of trustees in the party.
He emphasized that “that was why APC doesn’t have a board of trustees. APC is owned by the people. People are the trustees of APC. Unlike other political parties where you have some people controlling and having structures of the party in their hands. As a party chairman, there is no board of trustees supervising me. I supervise myself.”
