NCYCA Counters Resignation Calls, Reaffirms Support For APC Chair Nentawe

The North Central Youth Coalition for Asiwaju (NCYCA) has dismissed recent comments calling for the removal of Prof. Yiltwalda Nentawe as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing such campaigns as an attempt to destabilise the party.

In a statement issued on Monday in Abuja and signed by its National Coordinator, James Iorkusah, the group accused some political actors of floating unrecognized groups to create confusion and disunity within the ruling party.

According to NCYCA, one of such platforms is the All Progressives Congress Youth Solidarity Network (APC-YSN), which it claims is not known to the official party structure. The group described the APC-YSN as a ‘fringe coalition of political opportunists bent on sowing division and confusion within the Party for the selfish interests of their sponsors.’

“The public should not take these impostors seriously,” NCYCA emphasised.

The coalition maintained that Prof. Nentawe’s leadership has promoted reconciliation and inclusion, rather than disruption as being suggested in some quarters.

“Since assuming office, Prof. Nentawe has worked tirelessly to strengthen internal cohesion, reconcile differing interests, and ensure that every member of the APC feels heard and valued. It is therefore unthinkable for any genuine stakeholder to call for his resignation on the baseless accusation of being a “disrupter.” it said.

NCYCA urged all stakeholders to rally behind the chairman and resist what it called deliberate attempts by “saboteurs” to drag the party backwards.

“Under Prof. Nentawe’s leadership, the APC has grown stronger, more participatory, and more representative,” the group added.

NCYCA reaffirmed its support for the All Progressives Congress chairman and expressed confidence in his ability to steer the party towards wider membership growth and greater unity.
