Professor Nentawe Yiltwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), assured that defectors joining the party will be treated equally and enjoy the same rights as existing members. He made this statement during an enlarged stakeholders’ meeting held at the Crest Hotel in Jos, Plateau State, which was attended by top party stalwarts and political leaders from across the state.
According to Professor Yiltwatda, several prominent members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) are expected to join the ruling party next week. Arrangements for their defection have been concluded, and the incoming members include serving and former governors as well as National Assembly members. This development is seen as a significant boost to the APC’s membership and influence in the region.
The chairman emphasized that every new member will be treated as an equal partner in the party’s progress, enjoying the same rights and privileges as long‑standing members. He attributed this approach to the party’s belief in fairness and equal treatment for all.
Professor Yiltwatda also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his inclusive leadership style, which has given Plateau State greater recognition and a stronger voice in national politics. He described the president as a friend of the minority who promotes fairness and gives the state a sense of belonging, and he affirmed that the party has every reason to support Tinubu’s re‑election bid in 2027.
The assurance of equal treatment for defectors is expected to have a positive impact on the APC’s growth and cohesion. With the anticipated influx of new members from the ADC, the party is poised to strengthen its position in the region. As the political landscape evolves, the APC’s commitment to equal treatment for all members is likely to be a key factor in its future success.
